BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's population rose for a third consecutive year in 2013, boosted by the highest level of net migration in 20 years, the Federal Statistics Office said on Wednesday.

Some 80.8 million people lived in Germany at the end of 2013, up from 80.5 at the end of 2012. The number of deaths exceeded births by around 200,000 to 220,000 but migration more than made up for the shortfall.
