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 1982–1992: 6.64 → 5.51. Over the same years: births 10.6k → 13.2k; population 255k → 352k; urban share 11.6% → 14.1%; GDP per person (PPP) 2,645 PPP dollars (1992); GDP growth −1.7% → 12.7%; inflation 13% → 10.8%; net migration 0.04k a year → −0.48k a year; life expectancy, men 62.8 years → 64.5 years; no data for the others in those years.

How the indicators relate

  • Fertility (TFR) and internet (1990–2023, 30 years): levels are strongly related, in opposite directions (r = −0.83); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = −0.44). 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 = 0.43). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
  • Fertility (TFR) and GDP per person (PPP) (1990–2023, 34 years): levels are barely related (r = 0.19); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.30).

Against other countries

  • Fertility (TFR), adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (2,340 PPP dollars) typically have 4.09; here it is 3.56, about the same as most countries at this income (2023, 197 countries).
  • Internet, adjusted for income: countries with the same GDP per person (2,354 PPP dollars) typically have 35.3%; here it is 29%, about the same as most countries at this income (2024, 177 countries).

Forecasts vs actual

  • Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 2 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 9; median gap +7.4%.
  • The UN 1998 projection expected this level (3.56) already around 2011: reality is 12 years behind it.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (3.56, 2023) only by 2030: reality is at least 7 years ahead of it.
  • Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 2.61 (−27% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.96 (−45% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.46.
  • Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 11 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 10; median gap +20%.
  • The UN 2010 projection did not expect today's level (21.6k, 2023) before its horizon ended (2100).
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (21.6k, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
  • Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 25.8k (+20% vs 2023), 2100 — 22.9k (+6% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 10.6k.
  • Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 11; median gap +12%.
  • The UN 1998 projection expected today's level (800k, 2023) only by 2024: reality is at least 1 year ahead of it.
  • The UN 2022 projection expected today's level (800k, 2023) only by 2027: reality is at least 4 years ahead of it.
  • Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.31M (+64% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.85M (+131% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.28M.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 1998 projection for 2023: 788k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 800k (+1.6%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population +5.6k, births +37.4k, deaths −31.6k (more deaths than expected), migration +1.7k; the largest: births.
  • Why the UN missed the population. The 2010 projection for 2023: 730k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 800k (+9.6%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −5.1k, births +28k, deaths −6.2k (more deaths than expected), migration +53k; the largest: migration.
  • GDP growth: IMF next-year forecasts (34 editions, 2007–2023). On average the outcome was 0.7 pp below the forecast; below it in 59% of cases; typical error ±2.6 pp. The biggest miss was for 2010: IMF, October 2009 expected 2.4%, the outcome was 9.7%.
  • GDP growth: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2025 — 2.7%, 2027 — 2.9%, 2031 — 3%.

  • Inflation: latest IMF forecast (IMF, April 2026): 2026 — 3.2%, 2028 — 2.5%, 2031 — 3%.
  • Net migration: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 12 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in none; median difference +1.57k a year. The biggest miss: the 2015 revision expected −2.4k a year for 2020–2025; the outcome was 1.57k a year (for the years of the period so far).
  • Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 1.34k a year, 2050 — −1.57k a year, 2100 — −1.79k a year.
  • Life expectancy, men: past UN projections. The outcome was above the projection in 4 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and below in 8; median difference −0.8 years. The biggest miss: the 1998 revision expected 74.5 years for 2020–2025; the outcome was 68.5 years (for the years of the period so far).
  • Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 70 years, 2050 — 72.3 years, 2100 — 79.2 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.

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.

Solomon Islands: Gini index2005: 46.1; 2012: 37.10102030405020052010

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.

Agricultural land (% of land area)

3.9 % of land area latest value, 2023

Solomon Islands: Agricultural land (% of land area)1961: 2; 2023: 3.901234197019801990200020102020

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.

Cereal yield, measured as kilograms per hectare of harvested land, includes wheat, rice, maize, barley, oats, rye, millet, sorghum, buckwheat, and mixed grains. Production data on cereals relate to crops harvested for dry grain only. Cereal crops harvested for hay or harvested green for food, feed, or silage and those used for grazing are excluded. The FAO allocates production data to the calendar year in which the bulk of the harvest took place. Most of a crop harvested near the end of a year will be used in the following year.

Solomon Islands: Fertilizer consumption (kilograms per hectare of arable land)2002: 0.8; 2023: 00501001502005201020152020

Fertilizer consumption measures the quantity of plant nutrients used per unit of arable land. Fertilizer products cover nitrogenous, potash, and phosphate fertilizers (including ground rock phosphate). Traditional nutrients--animal and plant manures--are not included. For the purpose of data dissemination, FAO has adopted the concept of a calendar year (January to December). Some countries compile fertilizer data on a calendar year basis, while others are on a split-year basis. 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.

Neither government debt nor mortgages alone. Source definition: Domestic credit to private sector refers to financial resources provided to the private sector by financial corporations, such as through loans, purchases of nonequity securities, and trade credits and other accounts receivable, that establish a claim for repayment. 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.

Source definition: The indicator measures the proportion of a deposit taker’s loan portfolio that is impaired or at risk of default. It is calculated as the ratio of non-performing loans (NPLs) to total gross loans, where NPLs are defined as loans that are past due by 90 days or more or are otherwise considered unlikely to be repaid in full without the realization of collateral. Both non-performing loans and total gross loans should be reported at their gross book value, without deducting for loan-loss provisions or collateral. This indicator provides a key measure of asset quality and potential credit risk in the banking system.

Solomon Islands: Manufacturing, share of GDP2003: 6.1; 2024: 10.10510152005201020152020

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.
