What drives population change?
Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.
Migration contribution Deepens decline
Negative net migration adds to natural decline.
Martinique, 2024 projected: natural change −29 people, net migration −2,744, WPP adjustment +10, total population change −2,763. Negative net migration adds to natural decline.
Natural change −29 births minus deaths
+ Net migration −2,744 net balance
≈ Total change −2,763 people per year
Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a +10-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
