The impacts of Alderney's ageing population
It's no secret that Alderney attracts a large number of retirees who come to enjoy the relaxed lifestyle, but what does that really mean for the island as a whole? What will the impact be as the proportion of older adults increases?
This report by Manager Liz Bowskill looks at the changing demographic and what will be needed in order to care for our ageing population.
Welcoming James Dent to the board of directors.
James was brought up in Ireland, which is where he went to school. He is a retired consultant economist who spent much of his life working on projects in the developing world. Many of these were in small island states, frequently in the Caribbean and Pacific.
He has retained his love for island life and has now lived in Alderney for fifteen years. For four of those last years he served as a States member and as Chairman of the Alderney Policy and Finance Committee. During 2020, the first year of the Covid crisis, he was Alderney's representative on the Bailiwick Civil Contingencies Authority.
He brings with him a wide range of skills centred on institutional and financing options and an understanding of the critical demographic issues now facing Alderney.
