Figure almost one-third less than it was in 2010
The birth rate in the Isle of Man continues to fall, with 2019's figure being almost one-third less than it was in the peak year of 2010.
Over the last five years, there have also been more deaths than births on the Island.
In 2019 there was what's termed a natural population decline of 140, with 850 people dying.
Paul Craine, who's the author of the Isle of Man Population Atlas and is an expert on demographics, has been looking at the figures and has published an article on his website:
