The proportion of children born in London who died before the age of five decreased from 74.5 per thousand in 1730–1749 to 31.8 per thousand in 1810–1829.
According to Robert Hughes in The Fatal Shore, the population of England and Wales, which had remained steady at 6 million from 1700 to 1740, rose dramatically after 1740.
Ireland had in 1800 between 4.5 and 5.5 million inhabitants.
The first Census in 1801 revealed that the population of Great Britain was 10.5 million.
The proportion of children born in London who died before the age of five decreased from 74.5 per thousand in 1730–1749 to 31.8 per thousand in 1810–1829.
Population Register Abstract 1831.
And also in the second half of the 19e century the population of England kept growing fast from 16.8 million in 1851 to 30.5 million in 1901. The Great Irish Famine, which began in the 1840s, caused the deaths of one million Irish people, and caused well over a million to emigrate.
The 1841 UK Census counted for England and Wales 15.9 million, for Ireland 8.2 million.1 Scotland was 2.6 million.
Ireland's population decreased rapidly, from 8.2 million in 1841 to less than 4.5 million in 1901. == Population == The British Office for National Statistics' 2016-based National Population Projections indicated that, if recent trends continue, the UK's population would increase by 3.6 million between mid-2016 and mid-2026.

This growth through 'natural change' has been accompanied in the past two decades by growth through net migration into the United Kingdom, which since 1999 has exceeded natural change. The United Kingdom's high literacy rate (99% at age 15 and above) is attributable to universal state education, introduced at the primary level in 1870 (Scotland 1872, free 1890) and at the secondary level in 1900.
Universal state education in England and Wales was introduced for primary level in 1870 and secondary level in 1900.
Likewise, in Ireland, the Church of Ireland was disestablished in 1871.

Pre 1901 figures include the whole of Ireland, whereas from 1901 onwards only the population of Northern Ireland is included. and possibly other changes Population density calculated on: Pre-1901: 243,820 km2 total land area for the United Kingdom plus 70,273 km2 land area of the Republic of Ireland. Post-1901: its current boundaries. === Vital statistics === ===Total fertility rate (1552–1899)=== The total fertility rate is the number of children born per woman.
In Scotland, the Church of Scotland (a Presbyterian Church) is regarded as the 'national church' but there is not an established church. In Wales there is no established church, with the Church in Wales having been disestablished in 1920.
The TFR was considerably higher during the 1960s 'baby boom', peaking at 2.95 children per woman in 1964.

In 2001, the TFR was at a record low of 1.63, but it then increased every year until it reached a peak of 1.96 in 2008, before decreasing again.
In Northern Ireland and similarly in parts of Scotland as in England, especially, there is a degree of sectarian divide between Roman Catholic and Protestant communities. The table below shows data regarding religion for the 2001 and 2011 censuses: In the 2011 Census, rather than select one of the specified religions offered on the Census form, many people chose to write in their own religion.
Those who ticked Heathen who had been categorised as no religion in 2001 were categorised as other.
Scottish students who attend Scottish universities pay neither tuition fees nor graduate endowment charges, as the fees were abolished in 2001 and the graduate endowment scheme was abolished in 2008. The Welsh Government Minister for Education is responsible to the Senedd for education in Wales.
For example, one British journal published in 2004 estimated that approximately 5% of the British population is gay.
The foreign-born population increased from about 5.3 million in 2004 to nearly 9.3 million in 2018 or 14% of the total population. The United Kingdom is an ethnically diverse society and with a fast growing migration.
Despite a fall in actual numbers, the proportion of children in England attending private schools rose slightly from 7.1% to 7.3% between 2004 and 2007. Just over half of students at the leading universities of Cambridge and Oxford had attended state schools.
A government figure estimated in 2005 that there are 3.6 million gay people in Britain equating to 6 per cent of the population, though a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission described that estimate as 'of questionable validity' when set against available survey estimates. The Gender Identity Research and Education Society (GIRES) estimated in 2009 that "56,000 might potentially be transsexual people", noting that it is very difficult to make a reliable estimate.
State schools that are allowed to select pupils according to intelligence and academic ability can achieve comparable results to the most selective private schools: out of the top ten performing schools in terms of GCSE results in 2006, two were state-run grammar schools.

In Scotland however TFR is lower: it decreased from 1.75 in 2010 to 1.67 in 2012.
Northern Ireland has the highest TFR in the UK, standing at 2.02 in 2010 and 2.03 in 2012. In 2014, 27% of births were to mothers born outside the UK, a 0.5 point increase since 2013.
In the 2010–14 time period, the most common countries of birth for mothers (excluding the UK) were Poland, Pakistan and India; and Poland and India for fathers.
These projections did not allow for any possible effects of the UK leaving the European Union. There are 13 urban areas that exceed 500,000 inhabitants: they are centred on London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Leeds and Bradford, Southampton and Portsmouth, Sheffield, Liverpool, Leicester, Manchester, Belfast, Bristol, Newcastle upon Tyne and Nottingham. The population of the UK in the 2011 census was 63 million, of whom 31 million were male and 32 million female.
The 2011 census recorded the population of England as 53.0 million, Scotland as 5.3 million, Wales as 3.1 million, and Northern Ireland as 1.8 million. === Population change over time === The following table shows the total UK population estimated at census dates.
In 2011 8 million people in the UK were from ethnic minorities which 4,3 million are from Asian or British Asian 1,9 million are Black or Black British and 1,2 million are from mixed ethnicity.

Abilities in these languages (other than Cornish) for those aged three and above were recorded in the census of 2011 as follows. Cornish is spoken by around 2,500 people.
In the 2011 census, 464 respondents aged three and over in Cornwall said that Cornish was their main language, amounting to 0.09% of the total population of Cornwall aged three and over. After English, Polish was the second most common language given in the United Kingdom census 2011.
England has four universities ranked amongst the top ten in the 2011 THES - QS World University Rankings. In Scotland, the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Lifelong Learning is responsible to the Scottish Parliament for education, with day-to-day administration and funding of state schools being the responsibility of local authorities.
In 2012 and 2013, England and Wales's TFR decreased to 1.85.
In Scotland however TFR is lower: it decreased from 1.75 in 2010 to 1.67 in 2012.
Northern Ireland has the highest TFR in the UK, standing at 2.02 in 2010 and 2.03 in 2012. In 2014, 27% of births were to mothers born outside the UK, a 0.5 point increase since 2013.
It is unclear how the ONS treated people who ticked "Other" but did not write in any religion. In 2012 the British Social Attitudes Survey found the highest number to be non-religious (48%) followed by Christians (46%) with another six per cent identifying otherwise.

The 2014 fertility rate was higher for foreign-born mothers (2.09) than British-born mothers (1.76).
Four percent of children in Scotland attend private schools, a rate which has remained relatively stable since 2015.
