The population of the UK
Study note
The UK population has grown over time, helped by migration into the UK and longer life expectancy. People are living longer, so there is a record number of people aged 85 and over. The population is unevenly spread, with England making up about 84 per cent of the total.
Memory tip: Population growing (migration and longer lives); England is about 84 per cent of the total.
