Population change in the UK and lessons for Labour's five missions: Fact sheet
Population change in the UK and lessons for Labour's five missions: Fact sheet
The size and shape of the population is driven by trends in the three components of fertility, mortality and migration. For the past 90 years, the key driver of population change has been the birth rate. Much attention has rightly focused on the consequences of the ageing baby boom generation, born between the late 1940s and early 1960s, who are now entering retirement. Less attention has been paid to the rise in births during the 1980s and then again during the 2000s. Here, we highlight seven key demographic facts, considering these trends and their implications for policy planning and responses in relation to Labour's five missions.

Abstract
The size and shape of the population is driven by trends in the three components of fertility, mortality and migration. For the past 90 years, the key driver of population change has been the birth rate. Much attention has rightly focused on the consequences of the ageing baby boom generation, born between the late 1940s and early 1960s, who are now entering retirement. Less attention has been paid to the rise in births during the 1980s and then again during the 2000s. Here, we highlight seven key demographic facts, considering these trends and their implications for policy planning and responses in relation to Labour's five missions.
