The Lithuanian census records that on 1 March 2011 the population was 3.04 million, a decrease of 12.6% from the previous census in 2001. Around three-quarters of the decrease was accounted for by net emigration. Continuing emigration contributed to a further decline in the population, to an estimated 2.97 million in 2012 and 2.94 million in 2013. Foreigners, who numbered 33 300 in 2012 and 35 500 in 2013, comprised approximately 1.2% of the total population. Over half of all foreigners were from non‑EEA countries and held permanent residence permits in Lithuania; foreign labour migrants comprised only 0.3% of the workforce, and were mainly employed as transport drivers.
