In 1990, Côte d'Ivoire experienced a high growth rate of 3.8%, which began to gradually decline in the early 1990s, reaching 3.0% by 1999 as political instability and economic pressures contributed to migration and changes in fertility rates. This downward trend continued into the 2000s, with growth rates dropping to 2.1% by 2010.
A slight recovery in growth was observed in the mid-2010s, stabilizing around 2.6% as the country began to experience economic improvements and a return to relative political stability, which encouraged population retention and development. Since then, growth has remained steady at 2.5% from 2020 to 2023, signaling a maturing demographic with sustained yet moderated growth. These trends suggest future focus areas in resource management, education, and employment as Côte d'Ivoire transitions toward a more balanced population structure.
