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 relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 30 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.83); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.32). 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 = −0.95); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.05). 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 strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.90); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.05). 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 (23,280 PPP dollars) typically have 1.85; here it is 2.24, higher than in 78% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (24,230 PPP dollars) typically have 80.4%; here it is 91%, higher than in 85% of countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: urban majority: 1979; fertility below 3: 1997; half the population online: 2015. 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 1 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 10; median gap +2.5%.
  • The UN 2002 projection expected this level (2.24) already around 2020: reality is 3 years behind it.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected this level (2.24) already around 2022: reality is 1 year behind it.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.87 (−17% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.73 (−23% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.23.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 2 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 9; median gap +1.3%.
  • The UN 2002 projection expected this level (203k) already around 2008: reality is 15 years behind it.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected this level (203k) already around 2022: reality is 1 year behind it.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 166k (−18% vs 2023), 2100 — 108k (−47% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 38.1k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 7 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 5; median gap −0.4%.
  • The UN 2002 projection expected today's level (11.3M, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected this level (11.3M) already around 2022: reality is 1 year behind it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 13M (+15% vs 2023), 2100 — 11.7M (+3% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 7.54M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 11M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 11.3M (+3%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +64.7k, births +710k, deaths −117k (more deaths than expected), migration −322k; the largest: births.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 11.4M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 11.3M (−0.9%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −107k, births +53.4k, deaths +30.8k (fewer deaths than expected), migration −69.9k; the largest: the starting population.
  • Population: the IMF and the UN disagree. The IMF (April 2026) puts it at 10.8M in 2024, the UN (WPP 2024) at 11.4M: the IMF is 6% lower. Part of the gap may come from whom and which territory each counts.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0 pp below the forecast; below it in 58% of cases; typical error ±3.1 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, October 2019 expected 5.2%, the outcome was −7.9%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 3.7%, 2028 — 4.7%, 2031 — 5%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 0.1 pp below the forecast; below it in 67% of cases; typical error ±2.3 pp. The biggest miss was for 2009: IMF, October 2008 expected 10.7%, the outcome was 1.4%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 5.1%, 2028 — 4%, 2031 — 4%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 8 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 4; median difference +0.26k a year. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected −15.7k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −27.7k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −31.8k a year, 2050 — −16.8k a year, 2100 — −13.7k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 3 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 9; median difference −2.2 years. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected 63.6 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 — 71.5 years, 2050 — 74.4 years, 2100 — 81.7 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.

Dominican Republic: Gini index1986: 47.8; 2024: 3902040601990200020102020

Gini index measures the extent to which the distribution of income (or, in some cases, consumption expenditure) among individuals or households within an economy deviates from a perfectly equal distribution. A Lorenz curve plots the cumulative percentages of total income received against the cumulative number of recipients, starting with the poorest individual or household. The Gini index measures the area between the Lorenz curve and a hypothetical line of absolute equality, expressed as a percentage of the maximum area under the line. Thus a Gini index of 0 represents perfect equality, while an index of 100 implies perfect inequality.

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.

Dominican Republic: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 45.3; 2023: 55.40204060197019801990200020102020

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.

Dominican Republic: Learning poverty: Share of Children at the End-of-Primary age below minimum reading proficiency adjusted by Out-of-School Children (%)2006: 90.1; 2019: 77.702040608010020102015

The share of 10-year-olds who cannot read and understand a short passage of age-appropriate material—in other words, those who are below the “minimum proficiency” threshold for reading. This measure is defined as the union of two deprivations: 1) schooling deprivation and 2) learning deprivation. A child is considered schooling-deprived (SD) if he or she is of primary school age and out-of-school. The dimension of learning deprivation (LD) applies only for children in school, and identifies those pupils who are below the minimum proficiency level (MPL) for reading, as defined by the Global Alliance to Monitor Learning (GAML), measured in standard learning assessments, and reported in the context of the SDG 4.1.1b monitoring. This “union approach” to measurement reflects the choice that, as presented in the SDGs, all age 10 children must be both in school and learning. The final learning poverty measure combines the two dimensions in a single indicator using the following formula: LP = SD + [(1-SD) x LD]

Source definition: Domestic credit to private sector refers to financial resources provided to the private sector by financial corporations, such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable, that establish a claim for repayment. For some countries these claims include credit to public enterprises. The financial corporations include monetary authorities and deposit money banks, as well as other financial corporations where data are available (including corporations that do not accept transferable deposits but do incur such liabilities as time and savings deposits). Examples of other financial corporations are finance and leasing companies, money lenders, insurance corporations, pension funds, and foreign exchange companies. 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.

Dominican Republic: Bank nonperforming loans2017: 1.91; 2025: 1.7200.511.522.520202025

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.

Mean score in the OECD PISA test of reading literacy. Tested: 15-year-old students (aged 15y3m-16y2m, grade 7 or above), a sample in each country; every three years, the 2021 cycle postponed to 2022 because of COVID. PISA scale: in the cycle when the domain was first the major one (2000) the OECD mean = 500, standard deviation = 100; the series is comparable from 2000. A 10-15 point change between cycles is often within the error (standard errors and significance are in the education_pisa dataset). In 2015 the test moved from paper to computer and to a new scaling model: the link to earlier cycles holds, with a link error of a few points. In 2022 several countries (United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, Denmark, Australia, New Zealand and others) missed sampling standards — compare with caution. Values come from the trend tables of the latest OECD report listing the country (PISA 2022, else 2018, 2015, 2012, 2009 Vol. V).
