UK Population set to increase 50% by 2050
25 11 07 - 08:54Immmigration and rising birthrate to push UK population to 90 million by 2050
Britain's population could soar to 90million over the next 50 years.
The dramatic increase, fuelled by immigration and a rising birth rate, would add more than 50 per cent to today's population and put enormous pressure on housing, transport and public services.
The overall UK average is 1.84 babies. The average for British-born women is 1.6 and for foreign-born women 2.2.
The highest birthrate in the UK is among Pakistani-born women, who have an average of 4.7 children each. Last year, 22 per cent of births in the UK were to foreign-born women.

Don't forget that "British born" includes second generation, etc, people of non-European ethnicity and the variousn inevitable mixtures.
The indigenous population is set to be replaced very soon.
