The population of Belarus peaked at 10.2 million at the end of 1993, according to the Eurasia Daily Monitor. The negative population growth rate is mostly caused by Belarus' low fertility rate. Today, Belarusians are marrying at an older age and having fewer children, according to the Encyclopedia of the Nations.
