Overview
Grenada's population growth stood at 0.04% in 2025, a decline of +0.06pp from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 0.04% by 2025. Grenada ranked 173rd globally.
Grenada’s population growth has slowed dramatically from an all‑time peak of 1.35 % in 1961 to a modest 0.04 % in 2025, ranking it 173rd globally. The sharpest reversal occurred in 1980 when the growth rate fell to –1.00 %, reflecting net out‑migration and a temporary decline in births during that period. Over the 65‑year span, the island’s demographic momentum has been dampened by limited natural increase and modest immigration, leaving its growth rate well below that of peers such as Poland (0.07 %) and Turkey (0.10 %). The persistent low pace suggests an ageing population and a shrinking labor force unless policy measures stimulate higher fertility or attract skilled migrants. Continued monitoring of migration flows and fertility trends will determine whether Grenada can reverse the long‑term deceleration or remain near the lower end of global growth rates.
