Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has experienced relatively slow population growth over the past several decades. The country's population has remained fairly stable, with only modest increases since the late 20th century. As of 2024, the estimated population is around 103,000 people. Factors contributing to this slow growth include limited economic opportunities, which have led to significant emigration, particularly among younger residents seeking work abroad. Additionally, the country has a relatively low birth rate compared to other Caribbean nations. Overall, the population growth of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is characterized by stability rather than rapid expansion, with migration playing a key role in shaping demographic trends.
