Population and Migration Study

This study was designed to establish how the population in Shetland, and in different areas of Shetland, is changing; to make projections to 2030 and to develop a model for predicting population change in the Islands. Research was also done into living in the Shetland Islands and why people move into, within, or away from, the Islands. A full copy of the study can be downloaded below. The recommendations from the Population and Migration study are incorporated into the Single Outcome Agreement.

This study was commissioned by the Shetland Islands Council, in partnership with HIE Shetland, NHS Shetland, Communities Scotland and Shetland Community Economic Development Trust.
