'It's harder than ever for young people to raise a family'.
That's the view of the author of the 'Isle of Man Population Atlas' as the decade-long decline in births on the Island continued to fall throughout 2020.
Deaths also exceeded births by 278 - giving the largest natural decline in numbers since the 1980s.
Paul Craine says the population of the Island is looking 'vulnerable':
Mr Craine says, currently, for every person aged between 20-29 that arrives on the Island, two leave.
