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): 5.62 in 1950 → 1.64 in 2023 (−71%). Threshold: below 2.1 since 1991. The trend broke around 1964 and 1986: −0.04 → −0.14 → −0.01 a year.
  • Births: 0.2k in 1950 → 0.04k in 2023 (−81%). The trend broke around 1988 and 2005: 0k → 0k → 0k a year.
  • Population: 5.22k in 1950 → 5.29k in 2023 (+1%). Peak: 6.7k in 1987; the latest value is 21% lower. The trend broke around 1989 and 2008: +0.04k → −0.07k → 0k a year.
  • Net migration: on average −0.1k a year in the 1950s, −0.08k a year in the 1960s, −0.03k a year in the 1970s, −0.05k a year in the 1980s, −0.1k a year in the 1990s, −0.08k a year in the 2000s, 0.04k a year in the 2010s, 0k a year in the 2020s.
  • Life expectancy, men: 64.3 years in 1950 → 73.9 years in 2023 (+9.6 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1996. The trend broke around 1991 and 2001: +0.1 → +0.52 → +0.01 a year.

What changed at the same time

  • The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1968–1978: 4.86 → 2.86. Over the same years: births 0.17k → 0.14k; population 5.62k → 6.29k; net migration −0.04k a year → −0.02k a year; life expectancy, men 65.8 years → 66.7 years.
  • Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.69 → 1.64; births 0.05k → 0.04k; population 5.44k → 5.29k; net migration 0.05k a year → 0 a year; life expectancy, men 73.4 years → 73.9 years.

Against other countries

  • Order of events: fertility below 3: 1977; fertility below 2.1: 1991.

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap 0%.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.63 (0% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.64 (0% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.14.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 0 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap 0%.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 0.03k (−13% 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 6 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 6; median gap +2.1%.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (5.29k, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 3.97k (−25% vs 2023), 2100 — 2.64k (−50% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.72k.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2022 projection for 2023: 5.3k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 5.3k (−0.5%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population 0, births 0, deaths 0 (fewer deaths than expected), migration 0; the largest: migration.
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0k a year, 2050 — 0k a year, 2100 — 0k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 75 years, 2050 — 78.5 years, 2100 — 85.5 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.
