Analysis# Equatorial Guinea Population Analysis
Equatorial Guinea's population of 1.89 million represents a 35.2% increase over the past decade, significantly outpacing the global average growth rate of approximately 8-9% during the same period. Ranked 145th globally, the nation experienced its most explosive growth in the 2000s, driven by oil industry expansion and subsequent migration waves, though current growth rates have since moderated from that peak. Since 1960, the country's population has grown approximately 4-5 fold, reflecting both natural increase and resource-driven economic migration that transformed it from one of Africa's smallest nations into a moderately-sized one.
