Product Description
The potential future population size of the UK. These statistics are widely used in planning, for example, fiscal projections, health, education and pensions.
The 2024-based projections have been produced using a new set of demographic long-term assumptions for fertility, migration, and mortality, which are derived from analysis of past trends and through consultation with independent academic experts. The mid-year population estimate for mid-2024 is used as the starting point of the projection. This release is based upon the 2024 mid-year estimate for the UK and a revised back series from the 2021 (England, Wales, and Northern Ireland) and 2022 (Scotland) censuses. Births and deaths are constrained to mid-2024 data available in published sources.
This release provides a principal national population projection and 13 further variants, for example:
- high fertility
- low fertility
- high life expectancy
- low life expectancy
- high migration
- low migration
- zero net migration
