Oct. 21 (UPI) -- The population of the United Kingdom will surpass 70 million at the start of the 2030s, a new analysis said Monday -- indicating a slower growth than experts previously anticipated.
The Office of National Statistics said in the study there will be 70 million U.K. residents by 2031. In 2016, the government office projected 30,000 fewer. By 2043, the figure is projected to rise to 72.4 million.
