Analysis# Suriname Population Analysis
Suriname's population of 634,431 in 2024 represents modest growth of 10.26% over the past decade, averaging approximately 0.97% annually. Ranked 163rd globally among 209 countries, Suriname remains one of South America's smallest nations by population despite its territorial size. The 1960s peak growth decade indicates significant demographic deceleration since then, likely reflecting emigration patterns and declining fertility rates that have characterized the nation's modern demographic trajectory.
