TJC1 Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Yowza! the UK will be crawling... Here are the European Commission's projections from its Ageing Report that was published earlier this year. It projects that Germany's population will shrink from 81.3 million in 2013 to 70.8 million in 2060, whereas the UK's will rise from 64.1 million to 80.1 million. As you can see, what is striking is that the UK is set to become the EU's most populous country, ahead of Germany and France, as a result of a relatively high fertility rate and greater projected rates of net migration. It is probably relevant that the Commission forecasts that the proportion of the German population in 2060 represented by migrants arriving after 2013 would be 9%, compared with 14% in the UK. So Germany would be a lot less multicultural than the UK. Edited September 9, 2015 by TJC1 ..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should offer free abortions Most of the growth will be in the London, Manchester and Glasgow/Edinburgh areas I would imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
