United Kingdom Population Pyramid (1950–2100)
United Kingdom in 2026
The population of the United Kingdom in 2026 is estimated at 69,931,528. Over the previous ten years the population grew by 6.1%, up from 65,893,358 in 2016. Half of the population is younger than 41.2 years; 16.7% are children under 15 and 19.9% are 65 or older. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
