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 1968–1978: 5.75 → 3.97. Over the same years: births 25.7k → 24.5k; population 676k → 765k; urban share 30.1% → 29.6%; net migration −5.07k a year → −11.8k a year; life expectancy, men 57.5 years → 58.3 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 2.71 → 2.41; births 16.9k → 16.8k; population 750k → 826k; internet 31% → 79.4%; urban share 26.4% → 26.5%; GDP per person (PPP) 11,897 PPP dollars → 49,312 PPP dollars; GDP growth 3.7% → 33.8%; inflation 1.9% → 2.8%; net migration −6.91k a year → −6.16k a year; life expectancy, men 63.3 years → 66.5 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 29 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.80); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.06). 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 noticeably related, in the same direction (r = 0.66); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.16).
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are noticeably related, in opposite directions (r = −0.62); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.06).

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (49,310 PPP dollars) typically have 1.43; here it is 2.41, higher than in 96% of countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (70,520 PPP dollars) typically have 101%; here it is 83%, lower than in 96% of countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).
  • Order of events: fertility below 3: 2001; half the population online: 2019. 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 0 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +21%.
  • The UN 2012 projection expected this level (2.41) already around 2016: reality is 7 years behind it.
  • The UN 2017 projection expected this level (2.41) already around 2020: reality is 3 years behind it.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.98 (−18% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.78 (−26% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.28.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +31%.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 13.8k (−17% vs 2023), 2100 — 9.08k (−46% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 3.17k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 2 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 10; median gap +4.7%.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 941k (+14% vs 2023), 2100 — 889k (+8% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 552k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 1.03M; the UN's 2024 estimate: 826k (−20%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −71.5k, births +32.3k, deaths +9.1k (fewer deaths than expected), migration −172k; the largest: migration.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 781k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 826k (+5.9%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −5.2k, births +49.9k, deaths −22.2k (more deaths than expected), migration +23.4k; the largest: births.
  • Population: the IMF and the UN disagree. The IMF (April 2026) puts it at 1M in 2025, the UN (WPP 2024) at 836k: the IMF is 20% higher. 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 1 pp above the forecast; below it in 50% of cases; typical error ±5.2 pp. The biggest miss was for 2020: IMF, October 2019 expected 85.6%, the outcome was 43.5%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 16.2%, 2028 — 22.1%, 2031 — 1.1%.
  • Inflation: IMF next-year forecasts (36 editions, 2007–2024). On average the outcome was 1.3 pp below the forecast; below it in 78% of cases; typical error ±2.6 pp. The biggest miss was for 2015: IMF, April 2014 expected 4.3%, the outcome was −0.9%.
  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 4.1%, 2028 — 5.2%, 2031 — 5.5%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 10 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 2; median difference +2.22k a year. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected −8k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −3.97k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −3.48k a year, 2050 — −2.63k a year, 2100 — −1.38k 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 −1.5 years. The biggest miss: the 2000 revision expected 58.2 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 64.5 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 67.3 years, 2050 — 69.9 years, 2100 — 77.7 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.

Guyana: Armed conflict in the country1946: 0; 2025: 00119501960197019801990200020102020

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).

Guyana: 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.

Guyana: Gini index1992: 39.5; 1998: 45.1010203040501995

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.

Guyana: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 6.9; 2023: 3.402468197019801990200020102020

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.

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.
