Scotland's Population Decline: A Demographic Shift
Description
Scotlands population projections reveal a decline, with a peak of 5.56 million in 2033, then dropping to 5.47 million by 2049. This is due to a decrease in international migration and a rise in the elderly population. The shift impacts demographics, with a significant increase in those over 75 and a decrease in children and young adults. Experts attribute this to migration levels not fully balancing the books. The topic is a hot debate in election season, with parties divided on whether Scotland needs more newcomers or not.
