White Brits will become a MINORITY in the UK in less than 40 years, shock study warns
WHITE British people will become a minority in the UK in less than 40 years, a population study warns.
The current proportion of around 73 per cent will fall to 57 per cent by 2050, a migration report predicts, slipping below half by 2063.
By the end of the century, just 33.7 per cent of the UK population will have no immigrant parents, falling to 28 per cent for under-40s, according to Professor Matt Goodwin.
His research, based on official current population data, also forecasts a sharp rise in people with immigrant backgrounds — from below 20 per cent today to 60.6 per cent by 2100.
Prof Goodwin, a right-wing commentator, said: “By the end of the century, most of the people on these islands will not be able to trace their roots in this country back more than one or two generations.”
The share of UK-born people is also projected to collapse from 81 per cent today to 39 per cent.
The Muslim population could rise from seven per cent to 19.2 per cent.
Prof Goodwin said: “This raises enormous questions about the capacity of our country and leaders to unify people around a shared sense of identity, values, ways of life, and culture, and avoid the very real risk of us becoming what Sir Keir Starmer referred to in May as ‘an island of strangers’.”
He argued these changes were likely to spark “anxiety, concern and political opposition” among those who want to preserve the UK’s “symbols, traditions, culture and ways of life”.
It comes amid pressure to reduce record levels of legal and illegal migration.
Last month, Labour unveiled a new white paper proposing tighter rules on migrants living, working and studying in the country.
