Analysis# Ecuador Population Analysis
Ecuador's population of 18.1 million ranks 70th globally and has grown 13.1% over the past decade, reflecting a moderating growth rate compared to its historical peak in the 1960s. The country's long-term data (1960–2024) shows that Ecuador experienced its highest growth during the 1968s decade, after which population expansion rates declined significantly, suggesting completed demographic transition toward lower fertility. At current trajectories, Ecuador's growth rate has stabilized well below its peak, indicating a maturing population structure typical of upper-middle-income countries in Latin America.
