GUERNSEY’S population has grown by 484 people.

WORKERS could have to pay more in tax and social security contributions if Guernsey does not address its demographic time bomb, a new report has warned.

RESEARCH that details how it will become increasingly expensive to provide public services in Guernsey because of the ageing population was released this morning.

LOCALS should have their rights set out in legislation before those rights are extended to others under a new population management regime, Housing’s deputy minister has said.

ALDERNEY residents are unlikely to win better rights to live freely and work in Guernsey without its States implementing housing control legislation of its own, Housing minister Dave Jones has said.

GUERNSEY’S population management regime will be overhauled with a new system based on employment and residents permits, but only once the next States agrees the detail.

ELECTRONIC data from the authorities in Guernsey should provide the information Alderney needs to assess its population, the Policy and Finance Committee chairman said.

THERE are some issues which most politicians just won’t speak about frankly in public. Things they know to be true but won’t admit to knowing because they are too inherently unpopular.

GUERNSEY’S population will reach 70,000 by 2035, the annual population bulletin has shown.
