AnnotationThe likely trends in population size, age structure and potential support ratios in the UK over the coming century are considered. The extent to which these trends could be modified by changes in fertility or migration levels is examined. The findings of a recent United Nations (UN) report on "Replacement migration" are also considered in the light of the Government Actuary's official population projections for the UK, together with new projection scenarios prepared specially for this article. It notes that even very large net migration inflows will not overcome population ageing or prevent support ratios from falling. (RH).
