What drives population change?

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

Migration contribution Reduces decline

Positive net migration slows natural decline without reversing it.

San Marino, 2024 projected: natural change −81 people, net migration +37, WPP adjustment −8, total population change −52. Positive net migration slows natural decline without reversing it.

Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a −8-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
