111. UK population is expected to grow about 15% in the next 22 years
Edited on Wed Jul-20-11 08:20 AM by muriel_volestrangler
The UK population is projected to increase by 4.3 million by 2018. This increase is equivalent to an average annual rate of growth of 0.7 per cent.

If past trends continue, the population will continue to grow, reaching 71.6 million by 2033. This is due to natural increase (more births than deaths) and because it is assumed there will be more immigrants than emigrants (a net inward flow of migrants).

So who told you it is on the brink of a crash? Even if you assume no net immigration after 2014, they predict the population will increase until 2034 (link to downloadable table here: http://www.statistics.gov.uk/downloads/theme_population/NPP2008/information-note-additional-variants2.pdf)
