Mauritian society contains several ethnic groups. The majority of the residents of Mauritius are descendants of people from Africa followed by India. Mauritius also comprises migrants from continental Africa, China, France, and the East African island of Madagascar. As of 2023, Mauritius had the highest population density in Africa.

Overview of 2022 Census

[edit]

Mauritius has a population of 1,235,260 (608,090 males, 627,170 females), according to the 2022 Census.[1] The population on the island of Mauritius was 1,191,280 (586,590 males and 604,690 females);[2] Rodrigues island was 43,650 (21,330 males and 22,320 females); and Agaléga island was 330 (170 males and 160 females).[3][4][5]

The average age of the population was 38 years;[6][7][8] the proportion of children aged under 15 years decreased from 20.7% (in 2011) to 15.4% (in 2022); and the number of adults aged 60 years and over increased from 12.7% (2011) to 18.7% (2022).[9]

Ethnic groups

[edit]

Indo-Mauritians are roughly forty-six percent of the population. The Indo-Mauritian population consists of Hindu, Muslim, and Christian descendants of Indian laborers.

Mauritian Creoles (descendants of Africans) are thirty-eight percent of the population. Today, a significant proportion of Creoles are of African descent, with varying amounts of French and Indian ancestry. The Creole community also includes the country's ‘Metisse,’ or mixed-race communities, which consist of people with any admixture of the island's other groups.[10] Rodrigues and Chagossians are usually incorporated within the Creole ethnic group.

Along with the French European community, British expatriates or people of British descent make up roughly three percent of the population of Mauritius.[11][12]

Sino-Mauritians from the Hakka and other Chinese sub-ethnic/linguistic groups make up around three percent of Mauritian society.[13]

While the government officially groups Mauritians into four ethnic groups – Hindus, Muslims, Chinese, and General Population – the general population includes all who do not practice Hinduism or Islam and are not Chinese by ethnicity. The general population is the Christian community, which includes Creoles, mixed-race people, white people, and those who have converted to Christianity.

Small groups of foreign students from Europe or the Indian Ocean region are also present. Recent years have seen a steady flow of foreign workers into the textile industry (primarily Chinese women), the construction industry (primarily Indian workers), and harbor-related activities (primarily Taiwanese men).

Population

[edit]

According to the 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects[14][15], the total population was 1,298,915 in 2021, compared to 479,000 in 1950.[16]

The proportion of the population aged under 15 was 21.9% in 2010.[16] 71.2% were between 15 and 65 years of age, with 6.9% being 65 years or older.[16]

The main languages spoken in Mauritius are English, French, Mauritian Creole, and Bhojpuri.[23] There is no official language. English is the official language of the parliament, though French is also permitted. However, the lingua franca is Mauritian Creole, and the newspapers and television programs are usually in French.[24] The Mauritian currency features the Latin, Tamil and Devanagari scripts.

Mauritian Creole, which is spoken by 90 percent of the population, is considered to be the native language of the country and is used most often in informal settings.[23] It was developed in the 18th century by African slaves who used a pidgin language to communicate with each other and with their French masters, who did not understand the various African languages. The pidgin evolved with later generations to become a casual language.[25]

Mauritian Creole is a French-based creole.

Religion
