Efforts to boost Barbados’ dwindling population were the focus of debate in the Lower House today.
Among the possible solutions being considered is importing skilled workers.
Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley says managed migration is one of the recommendations to grow the population.
It is one of three measures outlined in the Barbados Population Policy 2023, debated in Parliament.
Ms. Mottley says giving citizenship to Barbadian descendants is another suggestion on the table, to increase the population.
She says the third recommendation is for Barbadians to have more children.
