Cuba’s National Office of Statistics and Information has reported that the island’s population at the end of 2024 was 9,740,000.
The number of births during the year was 71,000, “the lowest figure in recent decades and confirming that women of childbearing age in Cuba are postponing or choosing not to have children.”
“The serious crisis Cuba is experiencing, with no short- or medium-term solution in sight, is discouraging young people from starting families on the island. For the vast majority, emigration is their life plan.”
“According to an independent demographic study by Cuban economist and demographer Juan Carlos Albizu-Campos, Cuba had only 8,025,624 inhabitants at the end of 2024, following a cumulative decline of 24% in just four years.”
