Fiji: Population ages 00-04, male (% of male population)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Fiji's population ages 00-04, male (% of male population) fell 0.12 percentage points on 2024 (from 9.14% to 9.02%).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was −0.14 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.06 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 0.25 percentage points in 1979 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.43 percentage points in 1969. 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 0.17 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 100% of the movement over 10 observed years.

Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

A straight-line projection, tested first

Extending that straight line gives about 8.54% for 2028. We show this only because the same method, fitted on earlier years, predicted 2023 to 2025 better than "no change" would have: its average miss was 0.07%, against 0.3% for assuming no change. Treat it as a continuation of the recent pattern, not a forecast of events: it cannot see a recession, a policy change or a revision to the data.
