What the data shows

Computed with the same code as the observations under the main chart and in the API (get_insights). Moving together in time does not prove a cause.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1967–1977: 4.69 → 3.17. Over the same years: births 5.66k → 5.32k; population 162k → 219k; urban share 61.9% → 70.6%; net migration 3.12k a year → 0.59k a year; life expectancy, men 62.1 years → 65.8 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.74 → 1.37; births 5.27k → 4.34k; population 379k → 399k; internet 72% → 92.4%; urban share 82.4% → 81.3%; GDP per person (PPP) 32,403 PPP dollars → 35,221 PPP dollars; GDP growth −2.9% → 3%; inflation 0.4% → 3.1%; net migration 1k a year → 1k a year; life expectancy, men 70.4 years → 70.9 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 30 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.96); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.19). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.97); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.26). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are barely related (r = −0.26); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.18).

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (35,220 PPP dollars) typically have 1.61; here it is 1.37, about the same as most countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (36,240 PPP dollars) typically have 88.2%; here it is 92.5%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1979; fertility below 2.1: 2000; half the population online: 2011. Fertility fell below 3 after the urban share passed 50% in 69% of 111 countries where the order is known; median gap 9 years. Fertility fell below 2.1 before half the population went online in 88% of 112 countries where the order is known.

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 11 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −24%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.41 (+3% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.51 (+10% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.01.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 11 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −20%.
  • The UN 2002 projection did not expect today's level (4.34k, 2023) before its horizon ended (2050).
  • The UN 2017 projection did not expect today's level (4.34k, 2023) before its horizon ended (2100).
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 3.77k (−13% vs 2023), 2100 — 3.36k (−22% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.34k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 6 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 6; median gap −0.2%.
  • The UN 1998 projection expected this level (399k) already around 2021: reality is 2 years behind it.
  • The UN 2019 projection expected this level (399k) already around 2021: reality is 2 years behind it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 424k (+6% vs 2023), 2100 — 385k (−4% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 263k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 407k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 399k (−1.8%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +21.1k, births −31k, deaths −23.8k (more deaths than expected), migration +26.4k; the largest: births.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 393k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 399k (+1.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +24.6k, births −7.7k, deaths −14.6k (more deaths than expected), migration +4k; the largest: the starting population.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 1.6 pp below the forecast; below it in 62% of cases; typical error ±4.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, April 2019 expected 1.6%, the outcome was −20.1%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 2.8%, 2027 — 1.9%, 2031 — 1.5%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 0.3 pp below the forecast; below it in 56% of cases; typical error ±1.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2024: IMF, April 2023 expected 3.4%, the outcome was 0.4%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 0.6%, 2027 — 1.9%, 2031 — 2%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 7 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 4; median difference +0.19k a year. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 0 a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 0.71k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0.97k a year, 2050 — 1.14k a year, 2100 — 0.77k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 2 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 10; median difference −4 years. The biggest miss: the 2008 revision expected 75.2 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 69.7 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 72 years, 2050 — 75.4 years, 2100 — 83.2 years.

UN projections vs actual

Solid line: actual data, UN WPP 2024 estimates; births and fertility from national statistics from the last year they matched the UN estimate (the UN's figures for the latest years are partly its own projection). Dashed: medium variants of past UN revisions. The table shows what each revision expected for the latest year (or five-year period) with actual data.

Bahamas: Battle deaths1946: 0; 2025: 00119501960197019801990200020102020

Soldiers and civilians killed in combat in state-based armed conflicts on the territory of the country. 1946-1988: PRIO Battle Deaths (best estimate, else the low one; a conflict of several countries split equally); from 1989: UCDP GED by place of the events. For the same conflicts in 1989-2008 PRIO is 1.6 times UCDP, so the drop in 1989 is partly a change of source. One-sided violence against civilians is not included.

1,794,500 arrivals per year latest value, 2020

Bahamas: International tourism, number of arrivals1995: 3,239,000; 2020: 1,794,50002,000,0004,000,0006,000,0008,000,000199520002005201020152020

International inbound tourists (overnight visitors) are the number of tourists who travel to a country other than that in which they have their usual residence, but outside their usual environment, for a period not exceeding 12 months and whose main purpose in visiting is other than an activity remunerated from within the country visited. When data on number of tourists are not available, the number of visitors, which includes tourists, same-day visitors, cruise passengers, and crew members, is shown instead. Sources and collection methods for arrivals differ across countries. In some cases data are from border statistics (police, immigration, and the like) and supplemented by border surveys. In other cases data are from tourism accommodation establishments. For some countries number of arrivals is limited to arrivals by air and for others to arrivals staying in hotels. Some countries include arrivals of nationals residing abroad while others do not. Caution should thus be used in comparing arrivals across countries. The data on inbound tourists refer to the number of arrivals, not to the number of people traveling. Thus a person who makes several trips to a country during a given period is counted each time as a new arrival.

Bahamas: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 1; 2023: 1.300.511.5197019801990200020102020

Agricultural land refers to the share of land area that is arable, under permanent crops, and under permanent pastures. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded. Land under permanent crops is land cultivated with crops that occupy the land for long periods and need not be replanted after each harvest, such as cocoa, coffee, and rubber. This category includes land under flowering shrubs, fruit trees, nut trees, and vines, but excludes land under trees grown for wood or timber. Permanent pasture is land used for five or more years for forage, including natural and cultivated crops.

Agriculture, forestry, and fishing corresponds to ISIC (Rev. 4) divisions 01-03 and includes the exploitation of vegetal and animal natural resources, comprising the activities of growing of crops, raising and breeding of animals, harvesting of timber and other plants, animals or animal products from a farm or their natural habitats.Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment is 2015. This indicator is expressed in United States dollars.

Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis. Arable land includes land defined by the FAO as land under temporary crops (double-cropped areas are counted once), temporary meadows for mowing or for pasture, land under market or kitchen gardens, and land temporarily fallow. Land abandoned as a result of shifting cultivation is excluded.
