| Population Growth Led by UK Immigration | ||
|
According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), the population has grown by 394,000 people in the span of one year. It seems that growing birth rates within the UK have been pushing the population numbers up due to a larger amount of migrant mothers are of a child bearing age and are already established enough to start a family. At the same time births to UK born mothers continues to fall, this time by 1.1 percent from last year. Monday, 5 July 2010 |

The government Immigration Minister, Damian Green has recently spoken to the Royal Commonwealth Society in relation to the upcoming policy changes and the proposed cap which will eventually limit the number of non-EU migrants that will be allowed in to the UK every year.
Recent figures have reported a record rise in the UK population number. The current data suggests that there are over 55 million people living in the regions of England and Wales.
The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) has released data suggesting that the net immigration figure within the UK has actually risen by 20% last year. The increase in net immigration is attributed to the growing number of foreign students and a drop in the amount of UK nationals emigrating out of the country.
