| Annotation | This article outlines the main features of the population of England and Wales in 2005. Where 2005 figures have not yet been published, data for 2004 are given. Key findings include: the population reached 53.4 million in mid-2005, a growth of over 0.6 per cent on the previous year; and 513 000 deaths occurred in 2004, nearly 26 000 fewer than in 2003. The article notes that life expectancy continues to rise: 76.5 years for men and 80.8 years for women. An age structure pyramid indicates that there are three times as many women aged 90+ as men, but in this case higher male mortality during the Second World War is a major factor. (KJ/RH). |
