Question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide an update on the actions outlined in its publication, A Scotland for the future: opportunities and challenges of Scotland's changing population.
Answer
Since publication, the Ministerial Population Taskforce has taken forward a range of priority commitments from the Population Strategy, including the forthcoming Addressing Depopulation Action Plan, Talent Attraction and Migration Service, updating the evidence base on attitudes to family formation, and building new links across government and between stakeholders about issues relating to population and demography.
The Strategy continues to guide our approach to population across Scottish Government, and the purpose of the Taskforce is to drive cross-government delivery from the range of portfolios relevant to the Strategy actions. Minutes from Taskforce meetings, detailing work undertaken, are publicly available on the Scottish Government website.
