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 1966–1976: 5.04 → 3.42. Over the same years: births 1.24k → 1.52k; population 40.5k → 56.7k; net migration 1.01k a year → 1.2k a year; life expectancy, men 57.8 years → 61.7 years.
- Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 3.47 → 3.39; births 6.43k → 7.71k; population 253k → 303k; net migration 2.57k a year → −1.09k a year; life expectancy, men 73.7 years → 74.1 years.
Forecasts vs actual
- Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 10 revisions (2000–2022) and above in 9; median gap +26%.
- The UN 2000 projection expected this level (3.39) already around 2014: reality is 9 years behind it.
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (3.39, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.57 (−24% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.99 (−41% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.49.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 10 revisions (2000–2022) and above in 10; median gap +20%.
- The UN 2000 projection expected today's level (7.71k, 2023) only by 2030–2035: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
- The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (7.71k, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 8.74k (+13% vs 2023), 2100 — 9.58k (+24% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 4.85k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 9 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 3; median gap −3.1%.
- The UN 1998 projection expected this level (303k) already around 2014: reality is 9 years behind it.
- The UN 2017 projection expected this level (303k) already around 2019: reality is 4 years behind it.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 472k (+56% vs 2023), 2100 — 775k (×2.6 vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 571k.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2000 projection for 2023: 311k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 303k (−2.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −4.2k, births +11.6k, deaths −0.7k (more deaths than expected), migration −14.8k; the largest: migration.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 316k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 303k (−4%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +3.4k, births +11.3k, deaths −1.3k (more deaths than expected), migration −26k; the largest: migration.
- Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 11 revisions (2000–2022) and below in 11; median difference −2.69k a year. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected 1.32k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −1.49k a year (for the years of the period so far).
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0.34k a year, 2050 — 0.49k a year, 2100 — 0.58k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 11 revisions (2000–2022) and below in 11; median difference −2.4 years. The biggest miss: the 2015 revision expected 78.8 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 73.2 years (for the years of the period so far).
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 75.5 years, 2050 — 79.4 years, 2100 — 86.7 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.

Electricity demand per person
3,230 kWh per person a year latest value, 2023
Electricity demand (generation plus net imports, Ember) divided by the UN WPP 2024 population. A physical measure that is hard to dress up.

Security
Deaths in organised violence
0 persons a year latest value, 2025
Deaths in state-based conflict, non-state conflict and one-sided violence against civilians, by where the events took place (UCDP GED, best estimate). 0 means no organised violence above UCDP thresholds (25 deaths a year in one conflict). Events in Gaza and the West Bank are counted for Palestine.
Deaths in organised violence per 100,000
0 per 100,000 people a year latest value, 2025

Armed conflict in the country
0 0 none, 1 minor, 2 war latest value, 2025
Strongest armed conflict of the year in which the government or territory of the country is disputed (UCDP/PRIO ACD): 1 = 25-999 battle-related deaths, 2 = war, 1,000 or more. In interstate conflicts every primary party is marked even if the fighting was elsewhere (the USA in Iraq, 2003). Historical states are mapped to present-day countries by territory (USSR, Yugoslavia, South Vietnam and others).
Battle deaths
0 persons a year latest value, 2025
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.
Battle deaths per 100,000
0 per 100,000 people a year latest value, 2025
Battle deaths on the territory of the country (PRIO to 1988, UCDP GED from 1989) per 100,000 people (population: UN WPP 2024), from 1950.
