New statistics about the demographics of Monegasques were recently released by Monaco’s Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (IMSEE) on 13 March 2025. They show that Monegasques have an average lifespan that is almost 15 years older than the global average lifespan. And a surprising statistic: less Monegasques are choosing to wed.
