What drives population change?
Births and deaths set natural change. Net migration can reinforce, reduce, or reverse that direction.
Migration contribution Reverses growth
Negative net migration is large enough to reverse natural growth.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, 2024 projected: natural change +42 people, net migration −737, WPP adjustment −5, total population change −700. Negative net migration is large enough to reverse natural growth.
Natural change +42 births minus deaths
+ Net migration −737 net balance
≈ Total change −700 people per year
Exact reconciliation: WPP includes a −5-person statistical adjustment. Figures are rounded to whole people.
