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): 4.98 in 1950 → 1.07 in 2023 (−78%). Peak: 5.19 in 1958; the latest value is 79% lower. Thresholds: below 2.1 since 2013, below 1.5 since 2017. The trend broke around 1961 and 1974: +0.01 → −0.19 → −0.02 a year.
  • Births: 3.76k in 1950 → 1.39k in 2023 (−63%). Peak: 4.59k in 1960; the latest value is 70% lower. The trend broke around 1961 and 1971: +0.08k → −0.1k → −0.04k a year.
  • Population: 102k in 1950 → 185k in 2023 (+82%). The trend broke around 1972 and 2006: +2.45k → −0.28k → +2.35k a year.
  • Internet: 61.9% in 2016 → 68.1% in 2017 (+6.3 pp).
  • Urban share: 75.2% in 1960 → 91.5% in 2025 (+16 pp). The trend broke around 1991 and 2000: +0.28 → +0.75 → +0.02 a year.
  • GDP per person (PPP): 34,307 PPP dollars in 2000 → 28,762 PPP dollars in 2024 (−16%). Peak: 35,436 PPP dollars in 2002; the latest value is 19% lower.
  • Net migration: on average 0 a year in the 1950s, −1.43k a year in the 1960s, −1.78k a year in the 1970s, −2.29k a year in the 1980s, −2.75k a year in the 1990s, 0.16k a year in the 2000s, 2.36k a year in the 2010s, 0.63k a year in the 2020s.
  • Life expectancy, men: 58.2 years in 1950 → 72.5 years in 2023 (+14 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1994. The trend broke around 1958 and 1981: +0.56 → +0.26 → +0.09 a year.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1962–1972: 4.93 → 2.99. Over the same years: births 4.54k → 3.5k; population 137k → 153k; urban share 76.1% → 79.3%; net migration −1.38k a year → −1.55k a year; life expectancy, men 63.9 years → 66.4 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 2.10 → 1.07; births 2.19k → 1.39k; population 163k → 185k; urban share 91.3% → 91.4%; GDP per person (PPP) 31,753 PPP dollars → 27,618 PPP dollars; net migration 1.28k a year → 0.52k a year; life expectancy, men 72.4 years → 72.5 years; no data for the others in those years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.81); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.28). 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) (2000–2023, 24 years): levels are strongly related, in the same direction (r = 0.92); 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.

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (27,620 PPP dollars) typically have 1.75; here it is 1.07, lower than in 95% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: already in 1960; fertility below 3: 1972; fertility below 2.1: 2004; half the population online: already in 2016. 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 4 of 4 revisions (2012–2022) and above in none; median gap −28%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.22 (+14% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.38 (+29% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.88.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 4 of 4 revisions (2012–2022) and above in none; median gap −19%.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.17k (−16% vs 2023), 2100 — 0.74k (−47% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.23k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 5 revisions (2012–2022) and above in 4; median gap +11%.
  • The UN 2015 projection expected today's level (185k, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 174k (−6% vs 2023), 2100 — 121k (−35% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 81.8k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2012 projection for 2023: 174k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 185k (+6.4%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +9.3k, births −1.5k, deaths −1.3k (more deaths than expected), migration +4.7k; the largest: the starting population.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 4 of 5 revisions (2012–2022) and below in 1; median difference +0.01k a year. The biggest miss: the 2012 revision expected 0.78k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 0.58k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0.36k a year, 2050 — 0.38k a year, 2100 — 0.19k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 5 revisions (2012–2022) and below in 5; median difference −4.3 years. The biggest miss: the 2015 revision expected 76.5 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 72.1 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 73.9 years, 2050 — 77.9 years, 2100 — 85.1 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.

Bank nonperforming loans

3.45 % of gross loans latest value, 2024

Curaçao: Bank nonperforming loans2018: 5.91; 2024: 3.45024682020

Loans 90+ days overdue or unlikely to be repaid in full divided by gross loans, before provisions and collateral deductions. National rules and coverage can differ. Source definition: The indicator measures the proportion of a deposit taker’s loan portfolio that is impaired or at risk of default. It is calculated as the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total gross loans, where NPLs are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more or are otherwise considered unlikely to be repaid in full without the realization of collateral. Both non-performing loans and total gross loans should be reported at their gross book value, without deducting for loan-loss provisions or collateral. This indicator provides a key measure of asset quality and potential credit risk in the banking system.
