| These numbers are probably exaggerated given the incorporated assumptions about overstaying students which have now proven to be false. Even so we are probably looking at a net immigration figure of at least two million since it started to rise significantly about 20 years ago. This is also a period of fairly sustained economic growth has occurred so it is not that surprising that we have seen more people coming to work here. To put that number in context it is in the same region as the increase of the number of people in the UK aged over 65. This has risen from 15.9% in 1996 to 18.0% in 2016. Even with this rise we have seen the NHS being brought to what lots of people inside the organisation have described as the brink of crisis. The bigger problem, as I have mentioned before, is that we are at the foothills of the mountain of change that is to come. By 2039 according to Government statistics a quarter of the population will be over 65. From 1996 this will be an extra SIX MILLION people. The burden of providing care for these people will fall on the remaining three quarters of the population who are not children. But the problem becomes more acute because the number of people of working age is not rising anywhere near as quickly as those over 65. The absolute number of people of 'prime' working age i.e. 25-45 has been more or less static for the last decade or so and is predicted to remain so for the next few years. This demographic gap probably accounts for alot of the immigration we have seen. If we are struggling to cope already when the working population has nearly kept pace with the retired population due to 'mass immigration' what do you expect to happen in the future if we cap immigration but the older population starts to rise at an accelerated rate? |
