French Polynesia

Despite being composed of numerous islands and atolls, over 61% of the population resides in urban areas, indicating high concentration around centers like Papeetē. This level of urbanization suggests potential pressure on infrastructure and resources in key population hubs.

Despite strong GDP growth (2.773%) and high GDP per capita, the unemployment rate remains relatively high at nearly 11.75%. This suggests a structural mismatch between available jobs (likely in tourism/services) and the skills or location of the workforce.

French Polynesia has achieved 100% access to electricity, a critical infrastructure milestone often difficult to attain in dispersed island nations. This full coverage supports both high quality of life and sustained economic activity across the territory.

While life expectancy is high, the fertility rate is quite low at 1.50 children per woman, falling well below the replacement rate (2.1). This combination suggests an aging population structure and potential future demographic challenges related to population decline and workforce shrinkage.
