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.

Saint Pierre and Miquelon, 2024 projected: natural change −52 people, net migration −2, WPP adjustment +2, total population change −52. Negative net migration adds to natural decline.

Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a +2-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
