Haiti's population has experienced steady growth over the past several decades, despite facing significant economic, political, and environmental challenges. In 1960, Haiti's population was approximately 3.5 million, but as of 2024, it is estimated to have surpassed 11.7 million people. This growth is largely driven by a high birth rate, which remains one of the highest in the Caribbean, although it has gradually declined in recent years. Urbanization has also increased, with more people moving to cities like Port-au-Prince in search of better opportunities. However, the country's population growth has put pressure on resources, infrastructure, and social services, contributing to ongoing challenges in health, education, and employment.
