The islands are as beautiful as poetry, but you have to 'thank' people, just bring your suitcase and move in, you will immediately receive 1.5 billion VND

According to The Sun, authorities in Scotland are planning to restore "life" on an island when the population is on a significant downward trend.

Specifically, a new scheme is being launched for families and young people willing to move to a few Scottish islands. The Scottish government will provide £50,000 (equivalent to nearly 1.5 billion) for 100 people willing to bring suitcases to live. The total investment for this "reincarnation" plan amounted to more than 5 million pounds.

This plan was put in place to deal with population decline.

The plan is expected to encourage people to move to the Scottish islands, which are already dealing with population decline.

Reportedly, of the 93 islands in this plan, some are even on the list of the most beautiful islands in the world, including Orkney and the Isle of Skye.

After the bonus level and the call were made, many families were very excited. There's even an entire family from South America registered as residents in Scotland.

A government representative told the Times of the plan to "recruit" people to live on the islands: "Whatever is within our power to reverse the trend of population decline, we will try to try to do".

He also said that the £50,000 bonus would be used to help people "buy a home, start a business and make a lasting life here".

However, this "cash welcome" has also caused dissent.

Scotland's Minister for Rural and Island Affairs Mairi Gougeon said it was a "positive step" to help the islands. However, Liberal Democrat Liam McArthur said it was nothing more than a "gimmick" and that the money should instead be spent on improving the quality of transportation and housing projects. for the citizen.

This new plan has caused dissent. Some see this as a positive, while others call it a "gimmick".

This is not the first time that an island pays people to move in.

In 2019, an island in Greece offered people £450 a month to live there.

In 2020, an island in Ireland offered to pay the cost of people's accommodation and food if they moved there.

In 2021, the regional government of Calabria (Italy) announced a plan to provide 33,000 USD (nearly 800 million VND) for up to 3 years to those willing to move to villages with a population of less than 2,000 people.

Some of those villages are Civita, Samo & Precacore, Bova, Caccuri, Albidona, Sant'Agata del Bianco, Santa Severina. These are all places known for their "pictured" scenery.
