Population of Haiti (in millions) from 1800 to 2021

Haiti is the 83rd most populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 11,123,178 as of July 2018.[4] The last national census in Haiti was done in 2003. Although much of that data has not been released, the population recorded was 8,812,245.

According to population DNA tests,[which?] approximately 80% of the population of Haiti is Afro-Haitian.[citation needed] Within Black Haitian DNA, according to a study, the composition is approximately 85% African, the rest are European or mixed European. This is evidenced in DNA ancestry read outs where the average Haitian consistently tests at nearly 80-95 percent sub-Saharan African DNA.

However, there are genetic variations between the population, in the north of the country the average is about 95% African while for the south it is only 75% with more European blood, and much more probability of having native blood, because in the south there were many more mixed-race people, and also some natives living in other French colonies like Guyana and Martinique were sent there

The remaining population of Haiti is primarily composed of Mulattoes, Europeans, Asians, and Arabs. Hispanic residents in Haiti are mostly Cuban and Dominican.

About two-thirds of Haitian people live in rural areas. Several demographic studies, including those by social work researcher Athena Kolbe, have provided estimates of the demographic information of urban residents. In 2006, each Haitian household had an average of 4.5 members.

Population size and structure

[edit]

According to the 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects[5][6] the total population of Haiti in 2018 was 11,447,569, as compared to 3,221,000 in 1950. In 2015, the proportion of children below the age of 15 was 36.2%. 59.7% of the population was between 15 and 65 years of age, while 4.5% was 65 years or older.[7] According to the World Bank, Haiti's dependency rate is 7.51 dependents per 100 working age persons.[8]

While limited, some evidence suggests that large scale disasters can cause human populations to increase in the long term, rather than decrease.[12] Accordingly, in Haiti's case, some sources reported that a tripled fertility rate was expected after the 2010 Haiti earthquake.[13] However, data since then does not show a diversion from the pre-disaster trend of decreasing fertility rates.

Ethnic groups

[edit]

The population of Haiti is 95% of African descent, with the rest in Haitian society from marrying-in, immigrating through various times, or have origin since the Haitian Revolution.[15]

Languages

[edit]

Taíno was the major pre-Columbian language in the region of what is Haiti (or Ayti), a name referring to the entire island of Hispaniola.[16][17] The phrase means "land of high mountains."[18]

Today, the Republic of Haiti has two official languages, French and Haitian Creole. Haitian Creole is a French-based creole with 90% of its vocabulary derived from French and influenced by Portuguese, Spanish, Taíno, and various West African languages.[19] French is the primary written and administrative language (as well as the main language of the press) and is spoken by 42% of Haitians.[20][21] The language is generally spoken by educated Haitians, is the medium of instruction in most schools, and is used in the business sector. It is also spoken in ceremonial events such as weddings, graduations, and church masses.

Haiti is one of two independent nations in the Americas (along with Canada) to designate French as an official language; other French-speaking areas are all overseas départements, or collectivités, of France. Haitian Creole,[22] which was recently standardized, is spoken by virtually the entire population of Haiti.[23] It is related to the other French creoles but most closely to the Antillean Creole and Louisiana Creole variants.

Spanish is spoken by some Haitians along the border with the Dominican Republic, as well as by some who have been deported from Spanish-speaking countries. English is used increasingly within the business sector, but only by a small proportion of the total population.[24]

Religion

[edit]

The most common religions in Haiti are Roman Catholicism, Pentecostalism and Baptist. The state religion is Roman Catholicism, which is professed by 55–60% of the population. 30–35% of Haitians practice Protestantism, mostly Pentecostalism, which arrived in Haiti in the 1970s. Almost 99% of Haitians claim to be a part of at least one religion, with a fraction of them practicing some part of Vodou along with another religion.[25]

Vodou bears similarities to Cuban Santeria due to the large Cuban population in Haiti.[26] The practice of Vodou revolves around family spirits called Lwa that protect children. To repay the spirits, children perform two ceremonies where the Lwa are given gifts like food and drinks. The timing of the ceremonies depends on the monetary status of the family performing them; poorer families try to save money, waiting until there is a need to perform the rituals.[27] The practice of Vodou is rare among the urban elite.

Modern day Vodou has been shaped by both Protestant and Catholic Christianity. Under the rule of the Catholic French, the population was not allowed to practice Vodou. However, they were occasionally allowed to have dances on the weekends. These dances were actually disguised Vodou services. The underground practice of Vodou continued until Haiti gained its independence in 1804. Most Haitians see practicing both Vodou and Christianity as normal due to their significant similarities. The Catholic Church, however, was not always as accepting of Vodou. In 1941–42, a holy war was declared against Vodou, leading to the deaths of many high level religious officials in the Vodou religion. Persecution of the religion largely ended in 1950 when the Catholics gave up trying to prosecute those who practiced Vodou. Protestants, however, are still critical of the religion, often describing it as "devil worship".[28]

A fictionalized version of Vodou, commonly called "voodoo", has been used in American movies and by authors such as H.P. Lovecraft. Vodou and voodoo are not conceptually the same, although the idea of "voodoo" lives on in American pop culture.[29]

Migration

[edit]

Emigration

[edit]

Large-scale emigration, principally to the Dominican Republic, United States, and Canada (predominantly to Quebec) has created what Haitians refer to as the Eleventh Department or the diaspora. Significant numbers of Haitians have also emigrated to Cuba, France and French Guiana, Spain, Belgium, the United Kingdom and Ireland, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, the Bahamas and other Caribbean countries. Approximately one in every six Haitians lives abroad.[30]

Immigration

[edit]

45,000 Americans live in Haiti. They represent 0.4% of Haiti's total population.[31]
