I want to know the answer to the following question:
When did the population of the island start to steadily decline?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the past emigration was characterised by young unaccompanied persons leaving to work on long-term contracts on Ascension and the Falkland Islands, but since "Saints" were re-awarded UK citizenship in 2002, emigration to the UK by a wider range of wage-earners has accelerated due to the prospect of higher wages and better progression prospects.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
