“But falling population is a much worse problem where you get deserted villages, an older population with fewer workers, places where there are no or few kids which does not feel like a dynamic, vibrant country.”
The rise was driven by 1.2 million immigrants, the majority of whom were non-EU nationals who mainly arrived for work, study and humanitarian reasons, the ONS estimate showed. More up-to-date Home Office figures suggesting the number had increased even further to 149,400 in the year ending March 2023, suggesting the Government’s crackdown announced last week would have some impact, if not a decisive one.The large increase in the number of work visas coming to the UK was largely driven by the recruitment of health and care, and seasonal agricultural workers to cover labour shortages, Home Office statistics showed.
