Title: Ethnic population projections for the UK and local areas, 2001-2051
Description: From Executive Summary: The ethnic make-up of the UK's population is changing significantly at present and groups outside the White British majority are increasing in size and share, not only in the areas of initial immigration but throughout the country. This growth is driven by all the demographic components: immigration balanced by emigration, differences among ethnic groups in fertility levels and varying mortality experiences. Important spatial re-distribution of the population is taking place through internal migration. The ethnic make-up of local areas is therefore evolving. The composition of the population is also changing through the birth of children of mixed ethnic origins. We estimate all of these components of change for 16 ethnic groups and 352 local authorities in England together with estimates for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
