How can I increase my population
I am currently on the mission Back to the past! And have a really good economy. My only problem is, that I lag a large enough workforce.
How can I increase the population on my island?
From what I can see, there are three main ways to attract Immigrants.
Approval Rating. I believe if your approval rating is high you attract more immigrants to Tropico. This can be annoying, as you may need to build more buildings in order to fix the apporoval, in order to attract more people to staff said buildings. You may need to shut down some industries or something to do this.
Constitution. You can change the immigration policy in your Constitution. The "Immigrant Nation" option will increase the number of uneducated people who show up. This cannot be changed regularly, and has a fairly long cooldown between changes.
Quests. A number of quests have additional people as rewards. Things like "5 more communists" or "10 educated capitalists" or something. This is far from reliable, as you can't choose what quests you are offered.
You can also increase the Birth Rate on your island. This can be done by enacting the "Contraception Ban" edict, and by upgrading clinics and hospitals with an "Obstetrics Wing".
To increase the population of you tropico you will need to give them a reason to visit your island like luxury buildings and entertainment buildings to get more people to immagrate to your island. If you are having bad trouble with population make sure when you write your constitution you are setting it to an immigrant nation.
