Fun Fact: Over 75 per cent Of The Caribbean Population Lives On Just Two Islands! The Caribbean islands are home to over 44 million people, but according to a 2019 report from the United Nations, over 33 million of these inhabitants live on just two of the region’s 7,000 islands—Cuba, and the island that’s home to both Haiti and the Dominican Republic.
