Immigration responsible for much of UK population growth



Newly released figures show that the UK's population rose by 419,900 in the year to June 2012. Of this rise, about 40% (165,000) was caused by UK immigration and the rest by a baby boom in the UK. But analysis of the figures shows that many of the babies in that baby boom were born to first generation mothers and so immigration is responsible for a considerable proportion of this rise too.


There were 813,200 births over the year. More than 25% of these babies had mothers born outside the UK.

The UK's population rose by more than any other country in Europe over the year to June 2012. Its nearest rival was France where the population rose by 319,000.
