UK population reached 61.4 million in mid-2008, having grown 408,000 in the previous year. More than two million people have been added to the UK population in the last seven years, and our numbers have increased by more than a fifth since 1950 - in less than a lifetime, in one of the most densely populated countries in the world. On 21 October 2009 2008-based population projections released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) showed expected population growth of 16 million (more than two London's) to 77 million in 2050, passing 70 million in 2029. Although a third* of the public believe population growth to be the most serious threat to the future wellbeing of Britain, no political party has a clear policy to reverse it. Act now. Call for an population policy - stabilisation and gradual decrease by 2050. See Fertility, OPT Policies, OPT Population policy projections and Briefings and Submissions for population policy alternatives.
