Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Dominica's population ages 15-64, male fell 0.7% on 2024 (from 23,084 to 22,916).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +0.4% and a typical year strayed about 0.8% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.6% in 1972 and the biggest yearly fall was 1.4% in 2017. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is downward, about 132.21 a year. A straight line explains 97% of the movement over 10 observed years.
