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.

How the indicators changed

  • Fertility (TFR): 4.03 in 1950 → 1.44 in 2023 (−64%). Peak: 4.56 in 1963; the latest value is 68% lower. Thresholds: below 2.1 since 1978, below 1.5 since 2020. The trend broke around 1968 and 1979: +0.04 → −0.25 → −0.01 a year.
  • Births: 190k in 1950 → 90.4k in 2023 (−52%). Peak: 276k in 1965; the latest value is 67% lower. The trend broke around 1968 and 1978: +5.92k → −11.4k → −1.49k a year.
  • Population: 5.93M in 1950 → 11M in 2023 (+86%). The trend broke around 1975 and 2001: +147k → +68.6k → −5.49k a year.
  • Internet: 0% in 1990 → 70.5% in 2024 (+70 pp). Thresholds: above 10% since 2006, above 50% since 2017. Fastest growth in 2014–2019: 29.1% → 68%.
  • Urban share: 57.7% in 1960 → 77.2% in 2025 (+20 pp). Threshold: above 75% since 1997. The trend broke around 1969 and 1989: +0.23 → +0.72 → +0.1 a year.
  • Net migration: on average −8.81k a year in the 1950s, −42.6k a year in the 1960s, −43.2k a year in the 1970s, −20.1k a year in the 1980s, −26.6k a year in the 1990s, −22.8k a year in the 2000s, −30.3k a year in the 2010s, −17.5k a year in the 2020s.
  • Life expectancy, men: 57.1 years in 1950 → 75.7 years in 2023 (+19 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1977. The trend broke around 1978 and 2012: +0.48 → +0.17 → −0.19 a year.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1969–1979: 4.12 → 1.77. Over the same years: births 269k → 142k; population 8.67M → 9.76M; urban share 59.9% → 67.7%; net migration −47.4k a year → −35.5k a year; life expectancy, men 65.7 years → 70.6 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.68 → 1.44; births 126k → 90.4k; population 11.3M → 11M; internet 27.9% → 69.6%; urban share 76.8% → 77.1%; net migration −37.6k a year → −22.8k a year; life expectancy, men 76 years → 75.7 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 30 years): levels are barely related (r = −0.33); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.06).
  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.94); year-to-year changes are related too (r = −0.55). Changes line up from year to year too, which is more than a shared trend.

Against other countries

  • Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1975; fertility below 2.1: 1978; half the population online: 2017. 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 7 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 4; median gap −3.4%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.51 (+5% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.57 (+9% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.07.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 7 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 4; median gap −4.6%.
  • The UN 2000 projection did not expect today's level (90.4k, 2023) before its horizon ended (2050).
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (90.4k, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 67.4k (−25% vs 2023), 2100 — 38.4k (−58% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 10.6k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in none; median gap −2.6%.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 9.38M (−15% vs 2023), 2100 — 5.58M (−49% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 3.52M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 11.8M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 11M (−6.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −39.2k, births −177k, deaths −108k (more deaths than expected), migration −432k; the largest: migration.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 11.1M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 11M (−1%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +39k, births +155k, deaths −245k (more deaths than expected), migration −58k; the largest: deaths.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 3 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 9; median difference −5.89k a year. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 0 a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −18.3k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −19.3k a year, 2050 — −7.86k a year, 2100 — −4.11k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 12; median difference −4.2 years. The biggest miss: the 2012 revision expected 79.3 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 74 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 77 years, 2050 — 80.8 years, 2100 — 87.6 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.

International tourism receipts are expenditures by international inbound visitors, including payments to national carriers for international transport. These receipts include any other prepayment made for goods or services received in the destination country. They also may include receipts from same-day visitors, except when these are important enough to justify separate classification. For some countries they do not include receipts for passenger transport items. Data are in current U.S. dollars.

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.

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.

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.

Manufacturing value added (ISIC section C: factories, excluding mining, utilities and construction) as a percentage of GDP. The share can fall while output grows if the rest of the economy grows faster. World Bank, WDI. Source note: Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. 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 as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
