Why does the population rapidly expand then constrict, expand and constrict again? American soldiers and emigration? Its the most extreme changes I've seen on the channel.

@suselek990 (I asked Gemini.) === The Marshall Islands population growth has fluctuated. Let's break down the factors: **Historical Growth (1960-2022):** * **Rapid Expansion:** This period saw a significant increase in population, likely due to: * Higher birth rates * Improved healthcare reducing mortality rates **Recent Decline (2021-2024):** * **Possible reasons for decline:** * **Emigration:** People moving to other countries, potentially for better opportunities. * **Lower birth rates:** This could be due to various social or economic factors. **American Influence:** * The presence of US military bases might have played a role in the past, but its impact on population trends is unclear. **Data Resources:** For deeper insights, you can check these resources: * Population data and breakdowns: [www.worlddata.info/oceania/marshall-islands/populationgrowth.php](www.worlddata.info/oceania/marshall-islands/populationgrowth.php) * Historical population growth graph: [data.worldbank.org/country/marshall-islands](data.worldbank.org/country/marshall-islands) === I also read a report by a Japanese research institute, but there was no mention of the US military. There seems to have been a significant change in the demographics of the islanders.
