2. INTRODUCTION
•A census is taken simultaneously in all parts of the UK every ten years.
• The Office for National Statistics is responsible for collecting data for England and Wales, the
General Register Office for Scotland and the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency
each being responsible for censuses in their respective countries.
•In the 2011 census the total population of the United Kingdom was 63,181,775.
•It is the third-largest in the European Union, the fifth-largest in the Commonwealth and the
21st-largest in the world
•Its overall population density is one of the highest in the world at 259 people per square
kilometre, due to the particularly high population density in England. Almost one-third of the
population lives in England's southeast, which is predominantly urban and suburban, with
about 8 million in the capital city of London, the population density of which is just over 5,200
per square kilometre.

3. •The UK's population is predominantly White British. Being located close to
continental Europe, the countries that formed the United Kingdom were subject to
many invasions and migrations, especially from Scandinavia and the continent,
including Roman occupation for several centuries.
•Historically, British people were thought to be descended mainly from the different
ethnic stocks that settled there before the 11th century: pre-Celtic, Celtic, Anglo-
Saxon, Viking and Norman. Although Celtic languages are partially spoken in
Scotland, Cornwall, and Northern Ireland, the predominant language overall is
English. In North and West Wales, Welsh is widely spoken as a first language, but
much less so in the South East of the country, where English is the predominant
language
