MAIL ONLINE: Britain to experience one of the biggest changes in population, study says / By 2050 non-whites and foreigners could account for 38% of people in UK / David Cameron claims arrivals Romania and Bulgaria will be limited
Britain is on course to become one of the most diverse countries in the world.
New research suggests up to half of people in the UK will be foreign or from an ethnic minority within half a century.
It means the UK could overtake the United States as the world’s melting pot, with fewer people describing themselves as British or white.
The projection comes after David Cameron sought to reassure voters that The influx of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania will be ‘nothing like’ the levels seen when Poland joined the European Union[.]
A report by Oxford academics reveals the extent that immigration is changing the face of countries around the world.
Professor David Coleman said: ‘On current trends European populations will become more ethnically diverse, with the possibility that today’s majority ethnic groups will no longer comprise a numerical majority in some countries.’ » | Matt Chorley, MailOnline Political Editor | Wednesday, May 01, 2013
