Isle of Man
All indicators of the Macroscope base for Isle of Man, with sources. Below: what past UN and IMF releases projected and what actually happened.
What the data shows
Computed with the same code as the observations under the main chart and in the API (get_insights). Moving together in time does not prove a cause.
How the indicators changed
- Fertility (TFR): 2.41 in 1950 → 1.55 in 2023 (−36%). Peak: 2.69 in 1961; the latest value is 42% lower. Threshold: below 2.1 since 1976. The trend broke around 1965 and 1979: +0.03 → −0.05 → −0.01 a year.
- Births: 0.89k in 1950 → 0.7k in 2023 (−21%). Peak: 0.95k in 2008; the latest value is 26% lower. The trend broke around 1956 and 2007: −0.05k → +0.01k → −0.02k a year.
- Population: 55.1k in 1950 → 84.2k in 2023 (+53%). Low: 48.5k in 1961; +74% since then. The trend broke around 1961 and 2011: −0.64k → +0.7k → +0.02k a year.
- Urban share: 55.1% in 1960 → 52.1% in 2025 (−3 pp). The trend broke around 1969 and 1977: +0.16 → −0.74 → +0.03 a year.
- Net migration: on average −0.48k a year in the 1950s, 0.74k a year in the 1960s, 1.13k a year in the 1970s, 0.72k a year in the 1980s, 0.76k a year in the 1990s, 0.76k a year in the 2000s, 0.04k a year in the 2010s, 0.2k a year in the 2020s.
- Life expectancy, men: 58.5 years in 1950 → 78.9 years in 2023 (+20 years). Threshold: above 70 years since 1995. The trend broke around 1975 and 2012: +0.08 → +0.48 → +0.02 a year.
What changed at the same time
- The fastest decline of "Fertility (TFR)" was in 1970–1980: 2.57 → 1.95. Over the same years: births 0.76k → 0.77k; population 55.3k → 64.1k; urban share 55.9% → 50.4%; net migration 1.44k a year → 1.09k a year; life expectancy, men 60.5 years → 63.7 years.
- Over the last 10 years (2013–2023): fertility (TFR) 1.82 → 1.55; births 0.88k → 0.7k; population 84.1k → 84.2k; urban share 52.1% → 52.2%; net migration −0.29k a year → 0.2k a year; life expectancy, men 78.5 years → 78.9 years.
How the indicators relate
- Fertility (TFR) and urban share (1960–2023, 64 years): levels are strongly related, in the same direction (r = 0.83); year-to-year changes show no reliable link (r = 0.47). This looks like a shared trend: both change over time, but not in step from year to year.
Against other countries
- Order of events: fertility below 3: already in 1950; fertility below 2.1: 1954; urban majority: already in 1960. Fertility fell below 3 after the urban share passed 50% in 69% of 111 countries where the order is known; median gap 9 years.
Forecasts vs actual
- Fertility (TFR): past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −1.2%.
- Fertility (TFR): UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 1.54 (−1% vs 2023), 2100 — 1.58 (+2% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 1.08.
- Births: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 1 of 1 revisions (2022–2022) and above in none; median gap −2.5%.
- Births: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 0.61k (−13% vs 2023), 2100 — 0.44k (−38% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 0.16k.
- Population: past UN projections. The outcome was below the projection in 7 of 12 revisions (1998–2022) and above in 5; median gap −1.4%.
- Population: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2050 — 78k (−7% vs 2023), 2100 — 58.1k (−31% vs 2023); low variant for 2100: 40.1k.
- Why the UN missed the population. The 2022 projection for 2023: 84.7k; the UN's 2024 estimate: 84.2k (−0.6%). Parts of the gap (plus means more people than projected): the starting population −0.2k, births 0, deaths 0 (fewer deaths than expected), migration −0.4k; the largest: migration.
- Net migration: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 0.15k a year, 2050 — 0.07k a year, 2100 — 0.03k a year.
- Life expectancy, men: UN 2024 projection (medium): 2030 — 80.2 years, 2050 — 83.4 years, 2100 — 89.1 years.
UN projections vs actual
Solid line: actual data, UN WPP 2024 estimates; births and fertility from national statistics from the last year they matched the UN estimate (the UN's figures for the latest years are partly its own projection). Dashed: medium variants of past UN revisions. The table shows what each revision expected for the latest year (or five-year period) with actual data.

Protestants — population, 2010 estimate
60 thousand persons latest value, 2010
Historical all-age estimates for 2010 from Pew’s 2011 release, 232 countries/territories. Pew’s 2025 revision does not update this detailed split: do not splice into the revised Christian total series. Affiliation, not practice. Protestant includes Anglicans and independent churches; Orthodox includes Eastern and Oriental Orthodox churches. Other Christians include, among others, Latter-day Saints and Jehovah’s Witnesses under the source classification. Counts of at least 10,000 are rounded to 10,000; <1,000 and <10,000 remain bounds in the typed table only. The source states that <10,000 means 1,000–9,999, not zero. World is the sum of the five regions in the same release. Netherlands Antilles and Channel Islands are not assigned to a single present-day country. Geography follows the 2011 release; South Sudan is separate. Macroscope analysis. Pew Research Center bears no responsibility for the analyses or interpretations of the data presented here.

Industry and waste
Manufacturing, share of GDP
2 % of GDP latest value, 2023
Manufacturing value added (ISIC section C: factories, excluding mining, utilities and construction) as a percentage of GDP. The share can fall while output grows if the rest of the economy grows faster. World Bank, WDI. Source note: Manufacturing includes industries classified in ISIC (Rev. 3) major division C and is defined as the physical or chemical transformation of materials or components into new products. Value added is the contribution to the economy by a producer or an industry or an institutional sector, which is estimated by the total value of output produced and deducting the total value of intermediate consumption of goods and services used to produce that output. This indicator is expressed as a percentage of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) which is the total income earned through the production of goods and services in an economic territory during an accounting period.
