Aruba, a small island nation in the southern Caribbean Sea, has experienced modest but steady population growth over the past several decades. As of 2024, Aruba's population is estimated to be around 110,000 people. The island's growth rate has slowed in recent years, primarily due to low birth rates and the emigration of young Arubans seeking opportunities abroad. However, Aruba continues to attract immigrants, particularly from neighboring Caribbean countries and Latin America, which helps sustain its population numbers. The government closely monitors demographic trends to ensure that infrastructure, healthcare, and social services keep pace with the changing needs of its residents.
