What drives population change?

Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.

Migration contribution Reverses decline

Positive net migration is large enough to reverse natural decline.

Curaçao, 2024 projected: natural change −471 people, net migration +513, WPP adjustment +1, total population change +43. Positive net migration is large enough to reverse natural decline.

Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a +1-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
