==Background== | |||
The population of the Pitcairn Islands is generally too small to require or support these types of institutions:<br> | |||
"As of 2018, there are a total of 50 people inhabiting the island. Fearing overcrowding, in 1856 all 194 Pitkerners immigrated to Norfolk Island,but 16 of them returned to Pitcairn on the Mary Ann in 1858, followed by a further four families in 1864."<ref>"Pitcairn Islanders", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitcairn_Islanders, accessed 20 January 2023.</ref> | |||
