England Population Projections and Methodologies
England is projected to experience significant population growth, with every 2% increase representing a city the size of Birmingham. The projections analyze factors such as birth rates, mortality rates, and various scenarios impacting population trends. The methodologies include cohort survival methods and scenario modeling for different population scenarios.

Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 General Comments General Comments England is almost certain to see significant population increase. For every 1% increase this represents a population growth of around 550,000. For every 2% increase this represents a new city the size of Birmingham.
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Some Definitions Some Definitions 1) Usually Resident Population. 2) Short-term Migrants. 3) A Population Estimate. 4) A Population Projection. 5) What ifs?
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Method used (1) Method used (1) We use the Cohort survival method. However, unlike ONS which, in their projections, constrain the sum of the districts to the England total, TWRI generally starts with a local authority, produce the projection and aggregate up. However, in this presentation, for England and London, we will use the general method, rather than aggregating districts. There is no constraint on any figure.
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Method used (2) Method used (2) We can produce a variety of scenarios, e.g. Natural Change only, Internal migration only, and a range of weightings. However, for this presentation, I want to concentrate on a simple basic model and consider some What ifs? for this model. Please note these are for demonstration purposes; we can produce different scenarios which the user may find more realistic.
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Fertility in England Fertility in England Birth rates: we use average of last 6 years. If, instead we used average of last 3 years, then, to 2040, there would be 2% less births, 370,000 (0.6%) fewer people, but just 17,000 (0.06%) less households by 2040. As it makes only a small difference we will use the average of the last 6 years.
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Mortality/Life expectancy in England Mortality/Life expectancy in England Death rates reduced by about 1.5% per year over the period 2001/02 to 2013/14. Did not continue for 2014/15 and 2015/16. Up substantially for 2014/15 (+8.5%). For the future, we assume that death rates, from mid-2015, will reduce by half the percentage decline 2001/02 to 2014/15. Full reduction would increase 960,000 (1.5%) & 670,000 (2.4%) h/holds. increase pop. by

This chart uses the results over the period 2001/02 to 2012/13 (i.e. 12 years) as the base period for the projection.]
Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 International Migration International Migration In the six years to mid-2015, just over 3m International migrants came to England for 1 year+. Similarly 1.7m left. As a result, avg. growth= 220,000 per year. But ONS assume that this will be 170,000, after 2020. This is at least questionable for a Principal projection. TWRI use the average over six years. However, because of a reduction improved improved life expectancy life expectancy, like ONS, this still leads to 63.57m 63.57m for 2040. reduction in

Population projections Area AreaProfiler Profiler2 2 Conclusions Conclusions The future is always unpredictable but this uncertainty is only enhanced by the current political issues. However, we do have a computer based model which can be used to accommodate many variants for fertility, life expectancy and migration patterns. Generally, we project the population & number of households in England and London to increase. The picture for Gateshead is more mixed, but all models project an increase in the number of households.
