The Government can take several actions to encourage population growth in Scotland. These include:
Learning, skills and well-being: an approach to health and well-being to ensure everyone maximises their physical and mental health while creating the conditions for talented people to live, work and remain in Scotland.
Infrastructure development and place: a planning and development regime which fully takes account of the need to attract inward migration into Scottish communities and gives greater certainty and faster decision-making through the National Planning Framework.
Equity: making the case for Scotland to have fuller responsibility for personal taxation and benefits in support of an approach to equity and boosting economic activity that fits with our circumstances.
