National population projections
On 30 January we will be publishing National population projections: 2021-based interim. National population projections (NPPs) provide an indication of the potential future population size of the UK and its constituent countries.
This release will use the latest available population data including Census 2021 and new international migration assumptions using the latest estimates of international migration.
It will also use assumptions for cross border migration, fertility and mortality from 2020-based interim NPPs. NPPs are widely used in planning, for example, fiscal projections, health, education, and pensions.
Update: consultation on the future of population and migration statistics in England and Wales
On 14 December we published a consultation update that includes the number of responses by sector and outlines how we engaged with users of population and migration statistics both before and during the consultation. It also explains how we are carrying out our analysis of the responses. You can read this update on our website. This meets our commitment to publish a consultation update by 18 January.
Analysis of the consultation responses is ongoing and will be published alongside the publication of the recommendation on the future of population and migration statistics.
We recently published related data and analyses on life expectancy and estimates of the very old.
Identities
In case you missed it, in December our Ethnicity, National Identity, Language and Religion topic team published three analysis articles using data from Census 2021.
The Cornish identity release covers topics like, age, health, employment and occupation, and housing and accommodation characteristics.
Our Sikh identity release explores the outcomes of people who identified as Sikh compared with the usual resident population. And our most recent Jewish identity release covers characteristics and outcomes for people who identified as Jewish through the religion and ethnic group questions.
