National Population Projections
Product
National population projections by age and sex are produced for the United Kingdom and constituent countries every two years in consultation with the statistical offices of the constituent countries. The main focus of the projections is on the next 25 years, though longer term projections to 75 years ahead are also presented. In addition to the principal (main) projections, variant projections, based on alternative assumptions of future fertility, mortality and migration are also available.
Before January 2006 this product was a responsibility of the Government Actuary's Department (GAD). Details of historical sets of projections are currently available from the GAD website.
These National Statistics are produced to high professional standards and released according to the arrangements approved by the UK Statistics Authority.
