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.

Wallis and Futuna Islands, 2024 projected: natural change +6 people, net migration −93, WPP adjustment +2, total population change −85. Negative net migration is large enough to reverse natural growth.

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