Barbados has come out on top as the choice spot for British expatriates to work and live in the English-speaking Caribbean. According to recent statistics from the Brits Abroad project of the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), a think tank based in London, 27,000 British people call Barbados home. When this is combined with the British nationals and/or people born in Britain who are normally resident there but spend more than three months in Barbados which number swells to 34,000. The number was based on those who own or rent property on the island and does not include people who travel here frequently. Jamaica was the runner-up with 25,000 Britons, 31,000 in all if part-time residents are also included. Of that number, however, 23,000 Jamaica-based Britons are retired, indicating they returned after a working life in the United Kingdom, whereas only 4,933 Britons in Barbados are pensioners. Trinidad and Tobago was the next-closest CARICOM island, with 13, 000 Britons living there permanently or part-time; this was followed by the Bahamas with 5, 200 permanent and part-time; Antigua and Barbuda with 3,500 permanent and part-time; and Grenada with 3,100 permanent and part-time British expatriates. All other CARICOM members had fewer than 2,000 Britons living there permanently and part-time. Reprinted from radioja.com
