Population expert's prediction for island
Another boom in Jersey's population has prompted a word of caution from a Manx population analyst.
The latest official figures show 105,500 people now live in the Bailiwick - an increase of nearly 12,000 in last ten years.
More than three quarters (77%) of the rise is blamed on net migration.
Paul Craine is the author of the Isle of Man Population Atlas.
He told BBC Radio Jersey a similar influx to the Isle of Man 1980s led to a 'bulge' in working-age residents - leading to our current ageing population:
Danadara loses landmark tax appeal
King Orry statue lights 'acceptable' to bats
Commissioner will not investigate legal aid complaint
Coastguard and fire crews rescue boy stuck on a cliff
