Census shows OAPs are now nearly fifth of the population

Census figures released yesterday show pensioner numbers at record highs, up 1.9 million in a decade.

They accounted for 18.6 per cent of English and Welsh citizens in 2021, a 2.2 per cent rise on the 16.4 per cent from the 2011 survey.

The overall population of the two nations has now grown to almost 60 million in a decade, up 3.5 million.

However, the figures signal a slowdown in population growth, according to the Office for National Statistics.

At the previous census in 2011, numbers rose 7.8 per cent on the decade before.
