Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory in the North Atlantic Ocean, has experienced relatively slow population growth over the past several decades. The island’s population peaked around 2010 at just over 64,000 residents but has since seen a slight decline, with current estimates (as of 2023) placing the population at approximately 61,000. This stagnation and recent decrease are attributed to factors such as low birth rates, an aging population, and the emigration of younger Bermudians seeking opportunities abroad. Additionally, strict immigration policies limit the influx of new residents. As a result, Bermuda’s population growth remains subdued compared to many other regions, presenting challenges related to workforce sustainability and economic development.
