586 babies born on Island in 2022
Economic and social data on Manx residents has been published to give us a glimpse into the lives of locals.
Statistics Isle of Man is behind the 76-page document 'Isle of Man Numbers 2023' which covers areas of public interest such as the economy, Government income and expenditure, our society, the environment and infrastructure.
Some of the results show life on the Island continuing returning to normal after the impact of the Coronavirus pandemic, with numerous areas returning to pre-pandemic levels.
Unemployment fell sharply in 2021 and continued at pre-pandemic levels throughout 2022, whilst the number of new work permits issued, the number of passports issued and the number of wedding ceremonies taking place all increased in 2022.
Among the data, 2022 on the Island saw 586 babies born and 3,037 driving tests taken and 1,471 new immigration applications received.
The rate of inflation continues to cause challenges within society, with the Consumer Price Index ending 2022 at 7.4%, whilst the average house price also increased throughout the year.
Elsewhere, the numbers of ships and the number of aircrafts registered in the Isle of Man both decreased in 2022.
The annual report is available on the Statistics Isle of Man webpage.
