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): 5.13 in 1950 → 1.98 in 2023 (−61%). Peak: 5.47 in 1961; the latest value is 64% lower. Threshold: below 2.1 since 2015. The trend broke around 1970 and 1984: 0 → −0.15 → −0.03 a year.
  • Births: 2.24k in 1950 → 4.13k in 2023 (+85%). Peak: 4.73k in 2000; the latest value is 13% lower. The trend broke around 1973 and 2000: +0.08k → +0.02k → −0.01k a year.
  • Population: 63.8k in 1950 → 290k in 2023 (×4.5). The trend broke around 2014: change slowed down (+4.26k → +0.74k a year).
  • Internet: 0% in 1990 → 82% in 2017 (+82 pp). Thresholds: above 10% since 2000, above 50% since 2011. Fastest growth in 2009–2014: 34% → 70%.
  • Urban share: 36.6% in 1960 → 68.2% in 2025 (+32 pp). Threshold: above 50% since 1969. The trend broke around 1972: change slowed down (+1.5 → +0.29 a year).
  • Net migration: on average 0.26k a year in the 1950s, 0.65k a year in the 1960s, 1.11k a year in the 1970s, −0.53k a year in the 1980s, 1.21k a year in the 1990s, 0.62k a year in the 2000s, −0.38k a year in the 2010s, −0.35k a year in the 2020s.
  • Life expectancy, men: 41.4 years in 1950 → 76.3 years in 2023 (+35 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1999. The trend broke around 1975: change slowed down (+0.77 → +0.4 a year).

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1973–1983: 4.93 → 3.35. Over the same years: births 4.28k → 4.01k; population 126k → 155k; urban share 54.1% → 58.6%; net migration 2.55k a year → −0.53k a year; life expectancy, men 58.9 years → 63.7 years; no data for the others in those years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 2.17 → 1.98; births 4.55k → 4.13k; population 277k → 290k; internet 66% (2013); urban share 66.8% → 67.8%; net migration 2.2k a year → 0.49k a year; life expectancy, men 74 years → 76.3 years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2017, 23 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.84); 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 strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.94); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.30). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.

Against other countries

  • Order of events: urban majority: 1969; fertility below 3: 1992; half the population online: 2011; fertility below 2.1: 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 6 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 5; median gap −0.3%.
  • The UN 2002 projection expected today's level (1.98, 2023) only by 2025–2030: reality is at least 2 years ahead of it.
  • The UN 2017 projection expected today's level (1.98, 2023) only by 2030–2035: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.77 (−10% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.71 (−14% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.21.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 3 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 8; median gap +2.6%.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 3.76k (−9% vs 2023), 2100 — 3.04k (−26% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.27k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 9 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 3; median gap −2.2%.
  • The UN 1998 projection expected today's level (290k, 2023) only by 2027: reality is at least 4 years ahead of it.
  • The UN 2019 projection expected this level (290k) already around 2021: reality is 2 years behind it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 341k (+17% vs 2023), 2100 — 337k (+16% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 237k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 280k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 290k (+3.4%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +7.4k, births +1.7k, deaths −1.8k (more deaths than expected), migration +2.4k; the largest: the starting population.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 296k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 290k (−2.1%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +10.7k, births +3k, deaths +0.9k (fewer deaths than expected), migration −20.5k; the largest: migration.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in none of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 12; median difference −1.23k a year. The biggest miss: the 2017 revision expected 1.13k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was −0.23k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0.39k a year, 2050 — 0.28k a year, 2100 — 0.21k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 1 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 11; median difference −0.6 years. The biggest miss: the 2022 revision expected 77.8 years for 2023; the outcome was 76.3 years.
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 77.6 years, 2050 — 81.2 years, 2100 — 87.6 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.

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.

New Caledonia: Manufacturing, share of GDP1990: 4.7; 2017: 5.60246199019952000200520102015

Manufacturing value added (ISIC section C: factories, excluding mining, utilities and construction) as a percentage of GDP. The share can fall while output grows if the rest of the economy grows faster. World Bank, WDI. Source note: Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. 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.
