Enterprise Minister describes population findings as "alarming"

Minister's department aiming to increase residents of working age

The Enterprise Minister has described the findings of a study into the Isle of Man's population as "alarming".

Laurence Skelly was reacting to a report from the Isle of Man Population Atlas, which found the Manx population is the fourth oldest in the world.

The Department for Enterprise recently launched a scheme which aims to increase the number of people of working age living in the Island.

He insists it's not just more young people that are needed.
