The individual average annual income of the Falkland Islands residents totals £ 20.100 (approx 32.000 US dollars) according to data from the latest 2012 Census, which also showed an exceptionally high economic activity rate and a very tight labour market with just 1% unemployment and 20% of residents with a second job.

Disclaimer & comment rulesDanyBerger, look how much us “squatters” are earning! I wonder what the average wage in Argentina is? Let's not forget about factoring in Argentina's wildly high inflation which eats away at people's earnings! But thats right, because the Falklands doesnt have Italian sports cars, $50m hospitals or skyscrapers, we must be poor!

A $50m hospital isn't much to shout about. I worked in a London teaching hospital 20 years ago and it cost £500m to build and £500m to run every year. Probably double that nowadays.

If almost half of all residents report an annual income of less than £15,000 (with almost 12% reporting income of less than £5000) then this lumpen proletariat will no doubt be looking to string up the petty bourgeoisie from the lamp posts on the Stanley South development sometime soon.

You really are just about the lowest of the low on here. I find it hard to accept that you are what you intimate you are. If you are, I've never met another one with such a bitter attitude as you. I've dealt with every CBFI/CBFSAI down through several layers of ranks to your everyday squaddies since the mid-90s when I started in the field of work I'm in now. Never have I spoken to one with your attitude. My best man is now a brig, I know a couple of generals personally and very well, I have countless still-serving and recently retired friends who were/ are senior NCOs and officers. None of them say the short of shit you do. And trust me when I tell you that most of them tell me exactly how they see it without beating around the bush.

“Profiteering on stolen reources.”
OK. Let's look at that statement shall we?
The Falklanders are the only People to have lived in the Falklands. RIght or wrong regardless, nobody else lived there and there were no indiigenous inhabitants.
So who did they steal from?
Meanwhile: in the USA everybody profiteered off the indigenous North American Indians....
Meanwhile: in South America everybody profiteered off the indigenous South American Indians.....
So, returning to your “statement”... erm... yeah.... not really standing up to the test of simple Logic and Elementary level History is it?
At least the islanders know how to profit from a resource. If it were handed to the Argentines they'd soon work out a way to turn it into a cash pit

We also express diametrically opposing views over sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. We do, however, share a view that the Falkland Islands is a colony no matter what we Brits care to call it this decade. We also agree that those British Citizens who hold Falkland Island status also hold a veto that would be available should there ever be a desire by UK to negotiate with Argentina on this issue. We share a wider understanding of why that veto will not be required in our lifetimes. We are not the same person.

The FI administration ought to be very concerned that the population has remained stagnant since 2006 with an ageing population that will further exacerbate the situation. Surely they should be considering encouraging immigration from the UK even if it means creating public sector jobs, i.e. road improvements, building etc. in the interim period before the expected oil industry takes root in the Islands and presumably needs people. The immigration laws of the FI are ridiculously stringent and could deter any young people coming from the UK to try a new venture in the islands.

@40 I guess it's a balancing act. The Falkland Islanders have their own culture and to welcome in swathes of Brits and other nationals would disturb this.
Sep 14th, 2012 - 10:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0If they were going to let in more people, it might be an idea to create a new settlement somewhere else on the islands and leave Stanley as it is.
@41 I can't see that the culture is so different in the FI from that of the UK particulary remoter communities here! If the population of the FI dwindles to an unworkable degree then it would be a question of survival. Oil riches with no one to share them or be involved in them?? I don't think think the idea of new settlement is workable.

I cannot imagine an English making rods in the Islands for you.
As soon if ever you get a drop of oil coming out the oils companies will populate the Islands with Malaysians or Vietnamese as they always do.
They are cheap to hire, they do not complain, they don’t ask for benefits, they are easy to fire and if something goes wrong none claim for them.
If you don’t believe me put and ad saying “we look for British nationals workers to make road and work in the construction sector in F@kcland”.
