flag Curaçao faces aging, low birth rates, and labor shortages, with foreign-born residents driving growth but institutions failing to adapt.

flag Curaçao’s 2023 Census reveals a population in transition, with a median age of 45.35, a shrinking working-age group, and a birth rate of 5.26—among the lowest in the Caribbean. flag Nearly one in four residents are foreign-born, with Venezuelans, Colombians, and Dominicans driving growth, while second-generation immigrants are now central to the island’s social fabric. flag Aging, low fertility, and labor shortages are straining healthcare, pensions, and economic planning, yet policies remain fragmented. flag Despite demographic realities, institutions have not adapted, risking long-term instability unless proactive reforms in migration, integration, and aging are implemented.
