Ethnic minorities grow fast in UK

THE TELEGRAPH
Almost one in three people in Britain will be from an ethnic minority within a generation, a report suggests.
Non-white people will make up between 20 and 30 percent of the population by 2050, Policy Exchange says. The current share is around 14 percent.
The report could also raise questions about the future of the English national identity, which it found is primarily adopted by white people. The think tank, which has close links to the Conservative Party leadership, also highlights differences in the political leanings of different ethnic groups, advising politicians not to treat minority voters as a bloc.
The expected growth in the non-white population is largely attributed to a higher birth rate among ethnic minority Britons. A quarter of children aged under 10 in the UK are from ethnic minorities. By contrast, 95 percent of people aged over 60 are white.
The average British Bangladeshi is 22 years old. Among white Britons, the median age is 39, states the report, published on Tuesday.
Over the past decade, the white population has remained roughly the same while the minority population has almost doubled, accounting for 80 percent of population growth, it adds.
It also highlights clear ethnic differences regarding British and English national identities. While non-white people are keen to call themselves British, the English identity is largely the preserve of white people, the report suggests.
"English" is given as their sole nationality by some 64 percent of white people, but by only 12 percent of Indian Britons, 15 percent of those of Pakistani origin, and 26 percent of black people of Caribbean descent.
Some 71 percent of Bangladeshi-heritage people describe themselves only as British, 63 percent among those of Pakistani descent, and 58 percent for Indians.
By contrast, only 14 percent of white people described themselves only as "British".
The report also states that ethnic minority Britons are more likely to have a religion, more likely to practise it regularly, and to feel it plays an important part in their life.
Policy Exchange found that all nonwhite Britons were less persuaded by the Tories than their white counterparts, but some ethnic groups were more inclined to the Conservatives than others.
Some 17 percent of Indians identify with the party compared with 4 percent of Black Africans, 7 percent of Black Caribbeans, 8 percent of Bangladeshis and 9 percent of Pakistanis.
Rishi Sunak, a co-author of the report, said: "The face of Britain has changed and will keep changing over the next 30 years. These communities will continue to become an ever more significant part of Britain, especially in future elections."
Findings were drawn from the census, commercial opinion polls and academic studies.
