The 2011 UK Baby Boom: Rising Birth Rates and Migration Challenges

The 2011 baby boom in the UK reflects a significant demographic shift, where the population growth spiked by 50% due to increased net migration and now another 50% attributed to rising birth rates. The Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has risen from 1.64 in 2002 to nearly 2.0, not primarily due to immigration. This upturn may correlate with the Labour government's generous benefit payments. While some view these trends positively as a solution to an ageing population, they also bring challenges such as housing shortages, food scarcity, energy price rises, and traffic congestion.
