| Annotation | The 1998-based national population projections, carried out the Government Actuary in consultation with the Registrars General, show the population of the UK rising from 59.2 million in 1998 to over 63.5 million by 2021. Longer term projections suggest the population will peak around 2036 and then gradually start to fall. The population will gradually become older with the median age expected to rise from 36.9 years in 1998 to nearly 42 years by 2021. In 1998, there were 1.4 million (13%) more children aged under 16 than people of pensionable age. However, by 2008, the population of pensionable age is projected to exceed the number of children.
