In 2024, more than one million women in Jamaica were aged between 15 and 64 years old. The youngest age range - from 0 to 14 years - is the only one where the male population exceeds that of women. That year, the population of Jamaica was estimated at 2.83 million inhabitants.

In 2024, the total population of Jamaica amounted to nearly 2.84 million. In that year, there were 1.44 million women, whereas the amount of men was 1.4 million. Population figures in this western Caribbean island show a maintained upward trend at least since 2008 to 2021.

The total population in Jamaica was estimated at 2.8 million people in 2024, according to the latest census figures and projections from Trading Economics. This dataset provides - Jamaica Population - actual values, historical data, forecast, chart, statistics, economic calendar and news.

Actual value and historical data chart for Jamaica Population Growth Annual Percent

The total population of Jamaica was estimated at 2.75 million people in 2024. From 1980 to 2024, the total population rose by 640,000 people, though the increase followed an uneven trajectory rather than a consistent upward trend. Between 2024 and 2030, the total population will rise by 20,000 people, showing an overall upward trend with periodic ups and downs.This indicator describes the total population in the country at hand. This total population of the country consists of all persons falling within the scope of the census.

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the Jamaica population over the last 20 plus years. It lists the population for each year, along with the year on year change in population, as well as the change in percentage terms for each year. The dataset can be utilized to understand the population change of Jamaica across the last two decades. For example, using this dataset, we can identify if the population is declining or increasing. If there is a change, when the population peaked, or if it is still growing and has not reached its peak. We can also compare the trend with the overall trend of United States population over the same period of time.

Key observations

In 2023, the population of Jamaica was 196, a 0.51% increase year-by-year from 2022. Previously, in 2022, Jamaica population was 195, an increase of 0.52% compared to a population of 194 in 2021. Over the last 20 plus years, between 2000 and 2023, population of Jamaica decreased by 40. In this period, the peak population was 237 in the year 2004. The numbers suggest that the population has already reached its peak and is showing a trend of decline. Source: U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program (PEP).

About this dataset

Context

The dataset tabulates the data for the Jamaica, IA population pyramid, which represents the Jamaica population distribution across age and gender, using estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2018-2022 5-Year Estimates. It lists the male and female population for each age group, along with the total population for those age groups. Higher numbers at the bottom of the table suggest population growth, whereas higher numbers at the top indicate declining birth rates. Furthermore, the dataset can be utilized to understand the youth dependency ratio, old-age dependency ratio, total dependency ratio, and potential support ratio.

Key observations

• Youth dependency ratio, which is the number of children aged 0-14 per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Jamaica, IA, is 28.3.
• Old-age dependency ratio, which is the number of persons aged 65 or over per 100 persons aged 15-64, for Jamaica, IA, is 34.2.
• Total dependency ratio for Jamaica, IA is 62.5.
• Potential support ratio, which is the number of youth (working age population) per elderly, for Jamaica, IA is 2.9.
