The 2011 census has shown that the populations of England (53 million), Wales (3.1 million) and Northern Ireland (1.8 million) have all grown. The increases are a result of migration, longer life expectancies and increased fertility rates. It also shows that the population is ageing with the median age now at 39 (it was 35 in 2001). One in six people are now over the age of 65. Ethnic diversity has also increased with only 80.5% being registered as white British. About 7.5 million people living in the UK were born outside of the UK.
