Britain will be Europe's biggest country by 2060 with 77m people - by ames Kirkup
The UK population will rise by a quarter to 77 million in 2060, the European Commission said in a study of EU states population trends. That puts Britain on course to overtake Germany as the biggest country in the union. Germany's current population is 82 million, but the commission's analysts believe that a falling birth rate will reduce that to 71 million over the next half century. The EU's 27 members currently have a combined population of 495 million. The EU total will peak in 2035 at 521 million before falling back to 506 million in 2060.
