One of the main #arguments from #government for mass migration into the #UK is that we have an aging population that requires care we can't provide ourselves. This is only partly #true & is being used as #false justification.
While we do have an #aging #population, the #percentage of population that is most likely to require care, the 85+ population, only comprises around 2.8% of our current population & by 2092 will comprise between 4.9% to 6.1% of our population.
This means we currently have ~97.2% of our population below 85 & we will have around 94.5% of our population below 85 by 2092. Sufficient to #care for our own aged population without mass #migration.
