Shifting ethnic dynamic of the UK driven by immigration predicted to cause dramatic changes
White British people will become a minority in the UK population within the next 40 years, a report has predicted.
An analysis of migration, birth and death rates up to the end of the 21st century predicts that white British people will decline from their current position as 73 per cent of the population to 57 per cent by 2050 before slipping into a minority by 2063.
The research, by Prof Matt Goodwin of Buckingham University, suggests that by the end of the century, the white British share of the population – defined as people who do not have an immigrant parent – could have fallen to around a third (33.7 per cent).
