    Ethnic population projections for post-Brexit Britain Nik Lomax School of Geography FACULTY OF ENVIRONMENT [email protected]
  2. Perception vs reality Ipsos MORI Perils of Perception survey 2013:

    • What percentage of the United Kingdom population do you think are immigrants to this country (i.e. not born in the UK)? Public Perception 31%
  3. Perception vs reality Ipsos MORI Perils of Perception survey 2013:

    • What percentage of the United Kingdom population do you think are immigrants to this country (i.e. not born in the UK)? Public Perception 31% Reality 13%
  4. Perception vs reality Ipsos MORI Perils of Perception survey 2013:

    • Out of every 100 people in Britain, about how many do you think Are Black or Asian? Public Perception 30/100

    • Out of every 100 people in Britain, about how many do you think Are Black or Asian? Public Perception 30/100 Reality 14/100
  6. Post referendum survey Ipsos MORI Perils of Perception survey 2016:

    • Out of every 100 residents in the UK, about how many do you think were born in an EU member state other than the UK? Public Perception 15/100 Remain = 10 Leave = 20

  9. Variant projections "high population" variant assumes high fertility, life expectancy

    and net migration: 4.1 million above principal projection "low population" variant assumes low fertility, life expectancy and net migration: 4.9 million below principal projection
  10. Evaluation, Revision and Extension of Ethnic Population Projections - ETHPOP

    Our overall aim is to understand and to forecast the ethnic composition, size and distribution of the United Kingdom’s population www.ethpop.org The research was supported by ESRC award ES/L013878/1 for the project Evaluation, Revision and Extension of Ethnic Population Projections – NewETHPOP
  11. Why Ethnicity? • It is well established that demographic rates

    vary substantially by ethnic group: see Coleman (2006), Coleman (2010) Rees (2012). • Variation in service provision needs, e.g. – health care (Parliamentary office of Science and Technology 2007) – social care (Rees et al. 2009) – education (Penn, 2000) • Very important for monitoring ethnic advantage / disadvantage & segregation.
  12. Why Ethnicity? • An ethnically disaggregated projection should perform better

    than one which is only disaggregated by age and sex because additional ethnic heterogeneity is taken in to account within the model.
  13. What impact do international and internal migration have on the

    size, composition and distribution of the UK population by ethnicity? Method: Run a projection model which experiments with migration components Aim: To prepare us for what will be a new and different demographic future Key Question
  14. How? A population projection model Pro Cohort component model Bi-regional

    Brexit No Migration Four Migration Scenarios ‘Hard’ Brexit No International Migration
  21. Populations very reliant on international migration • Generally largest net

    migration groups • Indian – older population (34.1) • Chinese and Other have low fertility (1.26 / 1.77)
  22. Populations very reliant on international migration • Generally largest net

    migration groups • Indian – older population (34.1) • Chinese and Other have low fertility (1.26 / 1.77)
  23. Populations somewhat reliant on international migration Relatively young – BLA

  24. Populations somewhat reliant on international migration Relatively young – BLA

    = 27.8 / OBL = 25.8 Black African have large starting –population and relatively high fertility (2.64)
  25. Populations which continue to grow These groups have the demographic

    momentum to keep growing Very young populations: Pakistani = 27; Bangladeshi = 25.5; Mixed = 21.8 (youngest) Pakistani and Bangladeshi have very high fertility: TFR=3.2 and 3.47
  26. Populations which continue to grow These groups have the demographic

    momentum to keep growing Very young populations: Pakistani = 27; Bangladeshi = 25.5; Mixed = 21.8 (youngest) Pakistani and Bangladeshi have very high fertility: TFR=3.2 and 3.47
  27. Populations which are declining anyway These are the oldest groups

    who continue to age (WBI = 41.4; BLC = 38.7) They have relatively low fertility (WBI = 1.83; BLC = 1.75) They have net out-migration (except BLC under Hard Brexit)
  28. Populations which are declining anyway These are the oldest groups

    who continue to age (WBI = 41.4; BLC = 38.7) They have relatively low fertility (WBI = 1.83; BLC = 1.75) They have net out-migration (except BLC under Hard Brexit)

  32. Population Support Ratios (70+) PSR calculated by dividing the percentage

    of population aged 20-69 by the percentage of population aged 70+
  33. Key message The population will be more diverse The population

    is ageing Ethnic groups affected differently by Brexit, but… … under all scenarios
  34. The latest ONS statistics* (to mid 2017) suggest: • A

    downturn in EU immigration, which is built into the Soft and Hard Brexit scenarios. • There was also a steep upturn in emigration, which we had not anticipated. • EU citizens are voting with their feet: they are not coming to work in the UK in as large numbers and are leaving to work elsewhere in larger numbers. *ONS (2017).

  35. Microsimulation approach Lomax, N. and Smith, A P. (2017) Microsimulation

    for demography. Australian Population Studies, 1(1): 73-85 • A simpler ‘static sequential’ projection and a more complex dynamic model • Still retains the ethnic dimension of projection
