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): 4.82 in 1950 → 1.44 in 2023 (−70%). Low: 1.20 in 1999; +20% since then. Thresholds: below 2.1 since 1994, below 1.5 since 2023. The trend broke around 2000: direction reversed (−0.06 → +0.01 a year).
- Births: 0.46k in 1950 → 0.04k in 2023 (−91%). The trend broke around 1993 and 1999: −0.01k → −0.02k → 0k a year.
- Population: 12.9k in 1950 → 4.42k in 2023 (−66%). The trend broke around 1991 and 2001: −0.05k → −0.6k → 0k a year.
- Net migration: on average −0.29k a year in the 1950s, −0.26k a year in the 1960s, −0.11k a year in the 1970s, −0.15k a year in the 1980s, −0.56k a year in the 1990s, −0.04k a year in the 2000s, −0.02k a year in the 2010s, −0.02k a year in the 2020s.
- Life expectancy, men: 47.5 years in 1950 → 74.1 years in 2023 (+27 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1998. The trend broke around 1972: change slowed down (+0.77 → +0.18 a year).
What changed at the same time
- The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1968–1978: 3.99 → 2.44. Over the same years: births 0.31k → 0.23k; population 11.4k → 11.4k; net migration −0.22k a year → −0.09k a year; life expectancy, men 62.1 years → 66.5 years.
- Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.48 → 1.44; births 0.04k → 0.04k; population 4.75k → 4.42k; net migration −0.03k a year → −0.01k a year; life expectancy, men 73 years → 74.1 years.
Against other countries
- Order of events: fertility below 3: 1975; fertility below 2.1: 1994.
Forecasts vs actual
- Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −7.2%.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.51 (+4% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.56 (+8% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.06.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −2.5%.
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 0.04k (−10% vs 2023), 2100 — 0.02k (−44% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.01k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 10 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 2; median gap −18%.
- The UN 2019 projection expected today's level (4.42k, 2023) only after 2030: reality is at least 8 years ahead of it.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 3.69k (−16% vs 2023), 2100 — 2.78k (−37% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.84k.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2022 projection for 2023: 4.4k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 4.4k (+0.8%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +0.1k, births 0, deaths 0 (fewer deaths than expected), migration 0; the largest: the starting population.
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −0.01k a year, 2050 — 0k a year, 2100 — 0k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 75.2 years, 2050 — 78.6 years, 2100 — 85.9 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.

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.

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.
