Overview
Cayman Islands's birth rate stood at 11.7 in 2025, a decline of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 11.7 by 2025. Cayman Islands ranked 119th globally.
The Cayman Islands' birth rate has experienced a significant decline over the past six decades, from an all-time peak of 35.74 in 1960 to a trough of 10.18 in 2017. This downward trend is consistent with many developed economies, where lower fertility rates have become a pressing concern. Currently, the birth rate stands at 11.67, placing the Cayman Islands at #119 globally. In comparison, peer countries such as Brazil (11.68) and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (11.60) exhibit similar birth rates, indicating that the Cayman Islands' demographic profile is not unique to the region. The persistent decline in the birth rate suggests that the Cayman Islands is experiencing a transition from a high-fertility to a low-fertility economy, posing challenges for its labor market and social security systems. A sustained increase in immigration or a reversal in fertility rates would be necessary to alter the trajectory of the Cayman Islands' birth rate and mitigate the potential consequences of an aging population.
