The number of people leaving Jersey fell to its lowest level in 2025 since detailed migration statistics began being recorded, according to new figures.
A total of 3,430 people emigrated from the Island last year, down from 3,490 in 2024 and 3,560 in 2023.
The figures were provided by Chief Minister Lyndon Farnham in response to a written States question from Deputy Louise Doublet about the demographics of people permanently leaving Jersey.
However, the response said Statistics Jersey could not establish whether an individual had permanently left the Island.
The latest Population and Migration Report uses administrative data from departments including Education, Employment, Social Security, Housing and Revenue Jersey to estimate emigration.
The figures show that people aged between 16 and 39 accounted for the largest share of those leaving in 2025, at 1,780.
A further 1,160 people aged between 40 and 64 left the Island, while 270 were aged under 16.
Among older residents, 200 people aged between 65 and 79 emigrated, along with 20 people aged 80 or over.
Emigration peaked at 4,430 people in 2019 before falling during the following years.
There were 3,870 departures in 2020 and 3,950 in 2021, before the figure rose to 4,070 in 2022.
Senator Farnham said the data was available by age, sex, residential status and nationality.
The figures were released after Deputy Doublet asked whether information was collected on people who permanently leave the Island and, if not, whether relevant information could be obtained from existing Government departments.
