| Annotation | The 2002-based national population projections, carried out by the Government Actuary in consultation with the Registrars General, show the population of the UK rising from 59.2 million in 2002 to nearly 65 million by 2031. Longer-term projections suggest the population will peak around 2050 at 65 million and then gradually start to fall. The population will become gradually older: the median age is expected to rise from 38.2 years in 2002 to 43.3 years by 2031. In 2002, there were around 850,000 (8%) more children aged under 16 than people of state pensionable age. However, from 2007, the population of pensionable age is projected to exceed the number of children. (RH). |
