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): 6.95 in 1950 → 1.41 in 2023 (−80%). Peak: 7.35 in 1969; the latest value is 81% lower. Thresholds: below 2.1 since 2012, below 1.5 since 2021. The trend broke around 1973 and 2001: +0.02 → −0.17 → −0.04 a year.
- Births: 0.38k in 1950 → 0.1k in 2023 (−74%). Peak: 0.48k in 1987; the latest value is 79% lower. The trend broke around 1962 and 1983: −0.02k → +0.01k → −0.01k a year.
- Population: 8.54k in 1950 → 11.4k in 2023 (+33%). Peak: 15.1k in 2003; the latest value is 24% lower. The trend broke around 1967 and 1999: −0.08k → +0.22k → −0.18k a year.
- Net migration: on average −0.21k a year in the 1950s, −0.13k a year in the 1960s, −0.07k a year in the 1970s, −0.07k a year in the 1980s, −0.15k a year in the 1990s, −0.31k a year in the 2000s, −0.25k a year in the 2010s, −0.09k a year in the 2020s.
- Life expectancy, men: 43.8 years in 1950 → 77.7 years in 2023 (+34 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1991. The trend broke around 1975 and 1995: +0.43 → +0.97 → +0.16 a year.
What changed at the same time
- The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1987–1997: 5.63 → 2.63. Over the same years: births 0.48k → 0.27k; population 13.1k → 14.4k; net migration −0.25k a year → −0.08k a year; life expectancy, men 65.4 years → 73.1 years.
- Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.83 → 1.41; births 0.15k → 0.1k; population 12.5k → 11.4k; net migration −0.27k a year → −0.11k a year; life expectancy, men 75.9 years → 77.7 years.
Against other countries
- Order of events: fertility below 3: 1997; fertility below 2.1: 2005.
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 −26%.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.45 (+3% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.53 (+8% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.03.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −26%.
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 0.09k (−9% vs 2023), 2100 — 0.05k (−52% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.01k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 11 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 1; median gap −21%.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 10.2k (−11% vs 2023), 2100 — 6.88k (−40% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 4.38k.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2022 projection for 2023: 11.5k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 11.4k (−1.2%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −0.1k, births −0.1k, deaths 0 (fewer deaths than expected), migration 0; the largest: births.
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — −0.04k a year, 2050 — −0.02k a year, 2100 — 0k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 78.6 years, 2050 — 81.6 years, 2100 — 87.2 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.

Catholics — population, 2010 estimate
10 thousand persons latest value, 2010
Historical all-age estimates for 2010 from Pew’s 2011 release, 232 countries/territories. Pew’s 2025 revision does not update this detailed split: do not splice into the revised Christian total series. Affiliation, not practice. Protestant includes Anglicans and independent churches; Orthodox includes Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches. Other Christians include, among others, Latter-day Saints and Jehovah’s Witnesses under the source classification. Counts of at least 10,000 are rounded to 10,000; <1,000 and <10,000 remain bounds in the typed table only. The source states that <10,000 means 1,000–9,999, not zero. World is the sum of the five regions in the same release. Netherlands Antilles and Channel Islands are not assigned to a single present-day country. Geography follows the 2011 release; South Sudan is separate. Macroscope analysis. Pew Research Center bears no responsibility for the analyses or interpretations of the data presented here.
