Population growth, as defined by World Development Indicators, refers to the change in the number of individuals in a population over a specific period, usually expressed as a percentage of the total population.
Key Takeaways
The UK's population growth remained modest in the 1990s, fluctuating between 0.2% and 0.4%. Significant increases occurred during the early 2000s, with rates peaking at 0.8% by 2007-2011, fueled by immigration, particularly from Eastern Europe following the EU expansion in 2004. Robust economic conditions during this period also supported higher birth rates.
A notable dip to -0.1% in 2021 reflects pandemic-related disruptions, including excess mortality and decreased migration. The sharp recovery to 1.1% in 2022 signifies post-pandemic rebound effects and possibly adjustments in immigration policies. The steady 0.8% growth in 2023 suggests a return to pre-pandemic trends.
