Federated States of Micronesia Population

The Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) has experienced relatively slow population growth over recent decades. As of 2023, its population is estimated to be around 115,000 people. The country has seen periods of stagnation and even slight decline due to significant emigration, particularly to the United States, where citizens can live and work under the Compact of Free Association. Natural population growth remains modest, with birth rates gradually decreasing and life expectancy improving. These demographic trends, coupled with outward migration, have led to a stable or slightly declining population, presenting challenges for economic development and the sustainability of local communities.
