## Resource

Jamaica’s population barely ticked up to 2.76 million in 2025—just 600 more than the year before, signaling a near-zero growth rate. Driven by low birth and death rates, coupled with 7,000 people leaving annually, the island is aging fast, shrinking households, and facing a demographic crunch. The Planning Institute of Jamaica is now racing to adapt—with social safety nets, awareness campaigns, education, and migration strategies—to ensure the shrinking working-age population can still power economic growth.
