Age structure

2024 population pyramid:
This is the population pyramid for the Isle of Man. A population pyramid illustrates the age and sex structure of a country's population and may provide insights about political and social stability, as well as economic development. The population is distributed along the horizontal axis, with males shown on the left and females on the right. The male and female populations are broken down into 5-year age groups represented as horizontal bars along the vertical axis, with the youngest age groups at the bottom and the oldest at the top. The shape of the population pyramid gradually evolves over time based on fertility, mortality, and international migration trends. <br/><br/>For additional information, please see the entry for Population pyramid on the Definitions and Notes page.

National coat of arms

Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom granted the Isle of Man’s coat of arms on July 12, 1996. The triskelion (three conjoined legs) on the shield represents resilience, resourcefulness, and hope. The Latin motto means “Wherever you throw it, it will stand,” a reference to the islanders’ ability to stand strong. The peregrine falcon represents the two falcons that the Isle of Man has paid to the UK monarch on Coronation Day since 1406, and the raven symbolizes the island’s former status as a Viking colony. The crown represents the UK monarch’s status as the Lord of Mann, although the island is self-governing.
