Paul Craine says IOM has one of the oldest populations in the world
A stark warning about the Isle of Man's growing population imbalance has been issued by a member of the Legislative Council.
Paul Craine says the Island's population structure shows extreme imbalances relating to ageing, net migration of young adults, declining births and a fall in the number of women of child-bearing age.
Mr Craine has published a detailed paper on the topic on his personal Isle of Man Population website and says the matter needs to be addressed:
First in series of 'Isle be Ready' sessions to take place next month
More online services for drivers
New support centre 'an oasis' for cancer patients
Orrisdale Road to close for a month for resurfacing works
