Pitcairn Country ProfilePopulation and Demography
This page provides data for Pitcairn on key population and demographic indicators.
How many people live in the country, and how quickly is the population growing or shrinking? What’s driving that change — births, deaths, or migration? How is the age structure changing?
The data will be updated in line with the United Nations’ latest global and country estimates and projections, which are usually released every two or three years.
Population size and distribution
Births, deaths, and life expectancy
Migration and population change
Age structure
How does Pitcairn’s population break down by age?
It’s not just the total number of people in a country that drives trends in economic growth, spending, resource allocation, and culture; the age of those people does too.
If a country has many children, the demand for education spending will be high. If it has a large population of older people, this will lead to increased spending on pensions and elderly care.
The chart shows Pitcairn’s population broken down by age, and how this has changed over time.
Future population
How will Pitcairn’s age structure change in the future?
As we covered earlier in this profile, the structure and age distribution of a population can be just as important as the total number of people.
The chart below shows how the population of different age groups is projected to change in Pitcairn through to the end of the century. Again, this is based on the UN’s medium population scenario.
