Seychelles, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, has experienced modest population growth over the past several decades. As of 2024, the population is estimated to be around 100,000 people, making it one of the smallest countries in the world by population. The growth rate has slowed in recent years, largely due to low birth rates and increasing life expectancy, which has led to an aging population. Migration, both inward and outward, also plays a role in shaping the demographic trends of the country. Despite its small size, Seychelles maintains a relatively high standard of living compared to many other African nations, and its government continues to focus on sustainable development to accommodate gradual population changes.
