Martinique in numbers

In mid-2023 there were 346,002 people in Martinique: the 181st-largest population of the 236 countries and areas the UN reports, and less than 0.01% of the world's people. That is 1.5 times its 1950 population of 232 thousand.

Its population peaked in 1999 at 424 thousand and has been falling since. The UN's medium projection has 210 thousand in 2100. The projection is uncertain: on 1 January 2100 the UN's 95% range runs from 38,896 to 991 thousand.

The medium projection has deaths passing births in 2024 and staying above them from then on. Deaths also outnumbered births in 2020–2022.

The median age was 21.0 in 1950 and 49.8 in 2023; the projection has 50.9 in 2100. 24.4% of people were 65 or older in 2023, against 33.3% projected for 2100. The working-age population (15–64) peaked in 1999 at 277 thousand; in 2023 it was 210 thousand.

Its place in the world by population: 181st in 2023, 187th in 2050, 188th in 2100. It is overtaken by Mayotte in 2026, Vanuatu in 2026 and French Guiana in 2029.

MTQ · 1950–2100 · every age, every year

Martinique, every age in every year

Each column is a year and each row an age; the denser the ink in a cell, the more people. Everyone born in the same year climbs one 45° diagonal, so famines, baby booms and migration show up as streaks. Select a cell to follow its generation.

MTQ · ages 15–64

Who does the work in Martinique

Martinique had the most working-age people it is ever expected to have in 1999: 276,515 people aged 15–64, against 209,539 in 2023.

How to read this: one orange square for each of 100 people aged 15–64 in 2023. Beneath them, teal for the children living alongside those 100 and violet for the people aged 65 or older.

At no point between 1950 and 2100 do fewer than 50 dependants live alongside every 100 people aged 15–64 here.

fewer than 50 dependants per 100 the same, projected 50 or more

How to read this: the strip runs 1950 to 2100. Coloured years are the ones with under 50 dependants for every 100 people aged 15–64; grey years are the rest, and a hatched year has not happened yet.

How every country compares

MTQ · arrivals minus departures

Who arrives in Martinique, and who leaves

In 2020–2025 Martinique loses 2,946 people a year: everyone who arrives, minus everyone who leaves. The age at which that happens most is 20–24, at 890 a year more leaving than arriving.

one square = 100 people a year

020406080+

more arrive than leave more leave than arrive

How to read this: each column is one age, youngest on the left. Above the line, in blue, are the ages gaining people; below it, in orange, the ages losing them. This is the UN's projection for 2020–2025 — the record of migration by age does not go back beyond 2020.

Its best and worst years between 1950 and 2023: a gain of 2,964 (1997), and a loss of 9,335 (2017).

Displacement in Martinique

UNHCR publishes no refugees, asylum-seekers or displaced people in or from Martinique at the end of 2025.

Read that as a gap in the record, not as a finding. The count reaches as far as one agency's work reaches, and no further.

How far people in Martinique went in school

Of every 100 adults in Martinique in 2020, 1 never went to school and 59 finished upper secondary or went further.

Its people aged 15 to 64 were most numerous in 2020, the first year counted, and are never as many again in the middle projection; the ones who finished upper secondary are most numerous later, in 2060.

How to read this: every adult here as one of 100 squares. The stronger the colour, the further that person went in school (the Wittgenstein Centre, 2020).
