Population of the UK
Despite a fertility rate just below the replacement rate, the UK’s population has been slowly but steadily growing, increasing by an average of 0.6% every year since 2002. The age distribution has remained roughly the same for the past ten years or so, with the share of the population over 65 years old seeing a slight increase as the baby boomer generation enters into that age bracket.
