Africa-Press – Seychelles. <\/strong><\/span>The latest figure from the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) puts the Seychelles\u2019 population at 120,581, as of December 31, 2023, indicating a growth rate of 0.9 percent over 2022.<\/p>\n

The new population figure encompasses both Seychellois and non-Seychellois residents.<\/p>\n

The bulletin was published on March 1, 2024.<\/p>\n

The Seychellois-only population is estimated at 100,602 as of December 31, 2023. This represents an increase of 685 persons, or an annual growth rate of 0.7 percent over 2022.<\/p>\n

In 2023, there were 1,553 births registered, compared to 1,569 births in 2022.<\/p>\n

The crude birth rate, which measures the number of births per thousand mid-year population, was 13.0 in 2023, compared to 13.1 in 2022.<\/p>\n

Of the 1,553 births, 269 (17%) occurred within marriage, 1,071 (69%) were acknowledged, and 213 (14%) were natural.<\/p>\n

The percentage of legitimate births decreased from 19% in 2022 to 17% in 2023.<\/p>\n

The percentage of natural births also decreased from 15% in 2022 to 14% in 2023, while the percentage of acknowledged births increased from 66% in 2022 to 69% in 2023.<\/p>\n

A figure that is worrying is the number of girls under 15 who gave births, which is 15 in 2023 compared to 3 in 2022. In the age group of 15-19, 176 gave birth in 2023 compared to 164 in 2022.<\/p>\n

The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) in 2023 remained constant at 2.0, indicating the expected number of children a woman is projected to have throughout her lifetime, consistent with the rate observed in 2022.<\/p>\n

879 deaths were registered and among the deaths, 24 were infant deaths, with an infant mortality rate of 15.5 per thousand live births, compared to 15.3 in 2022.<\/p>\n

The total fertility rate stands at 2.0, and the life expectancy for both sexes is 74.7 years.<\/p>\n

There were 1,636 marriages registered in 2023, of which 23% were by residents. Additionally, there were 220 divorces registered.<\/p>\n

The next Population Bulletin will be released at the end of August 2024.<\/p>\n
