UK POPULATION
What is the population of the UK today? And how do we get to this number? We can that in 1700 the population was about 6 million. Then living conditions and health care improved. At the beginning of the 18th century, 74 children in every thousand died before the age of five. However, a hundred years later, that figure more than to 31 in every thousand. As a result, the population enormously.
The first time the government the size of the population was in 1801. By 1851, the population was 16 million, a figure that almost to 30 million by 1901, only fifty years later. However, after this the number of children born every year started to and the population stopped growing quite so fast. But it did still grow.
The fact is that if you take the population of 6 million in 1700 and it by 11, you get the current population of the UK. And, within the UK, you can that figure up into different parts. For example, almost a third of the whole population live in the south-east of England. And, yes, sometimes it does feel very crowded!
