Tuvalu Population

Tuvalu, a small island nation in the Pacific Ocean, has experienced modest population growth over recent decades. As of 2024, its population is estimated to be around 11,400 people, making it one of the least populous countries in the world. The growth rate has remained relatively low, typically under 1% per year, due to factors such as limited economic opportunities, emigration to countries like New Zealand, and the challenges posed by its small land area and vulnerability to climate change. Despite these constraints, Tuvalu’s population has shown gradual increases, primarily driven by natural growth (births outnumbering deaths), but overall, the country’s population remains small and stable.
