Analysis# Cayman Islands Fertility Rate
The Cayman Islands recorded a fertility rate of 1.525 births per woman in 2024, reflecting a dramatic demographic shift over six decades. Since 1960, the rate has declined 67.6%, falling from a peak of 4.887 births per woman in 1972 to a historic low of 1.222 in 2017. The current level sits between these extremes, indicating a stabilization after the sharp drops of the 2010s.
A notable inflection point occurred around 2018, when the downward trajectory reversed slightly, rising from the 2017 low. Fertility climbed steadily through 2020 before plateauing in subsequent years, hovering between 1.525 and 1.554 births per woman from 2020 to 2024. This pattern suggests the Cayman Islands has found an equilibrium at replacement-rate fertility, consistent with developed island economies experiencing aging populations and smaller family sizes.
