Title: 14.4% Post by: RED-DOG on February 21, 2019, 07:39:52 PM According to a stat I just saw, in 2017 14.4% of the UK population are foreign born.
Is that a lot? Title: Re: 14.4% Post by: bagel on February 21, 2019, 08:08:52 PM yes obviously way too many.
especially northerners Title: Re: 14.4% Post by: Doobs on February 21, 2019, 08:09:31 PM According to a stat I just saw, in 2017 14.4% of the UK population are foreign born. Is that a lot? No, it is less than 15% Title: Re: 14.4% Post by: arbboy on February 21, 2019, 08:10:20 PM Probably closer to 20% if the 'true' population is considered rather than official stats.

What I mean is it above average or far more than other countries?

What I mean is it above average or far more than other countries? It is around the same as the USA; less than Canada and Australia. Switzerland is higher, Luxembourg is much higher (about 50%). I remember reading Japan was pretty low (just checked, it is a bit less than 2%).

Title: Re: 14.4% Post by: RED-DOG on February 21, 2019, 09:52:12 PM I've decided that Luxembourg doesn't count. It's a tiny land-locked spit surrounded by other countries. It's bound to have a high population of foreigners.
