San Marino, one of the world's smallest and oldest republics, has experienced modest population growth over the past several decades. With a population estimated at around 34,000 in 2024, San Marino's growth rate remains low, reflecting broader trends seen in many developed European microstates. The country’s population has increased only slightly since the late 20th century, largely due to low birth rates, limited immigration, and a stable economy that does not necessitate significant demographic change. The government has occasionally implemented policies to encourage population growth, but the overall increase remains gradual, contributing to San Marino’s reputation as a stable and close-knit community.
