Population projections

I see that the Registrar General for Scotland is projecting that Inverclyde's population will decrease by around one fifth by 2033.

This prediction underlines the scale of the challenge that the Council and our partners in the Inverclyde Alliance face if we are to achieve our objective of stabilising the area's population.

Making Inverclyde an attractive place to live is central to our social and economic regeneration strategy. We want to retain the people we have and at the same time attract new residents from other places.

Equally we want to tackle poverty and health inequalities that contribute to too many Inverclyde residents dying prematurely.
