UK’s Identity Crisis: Whites Minority by 2050 – Cultural Collapse Incoming? ‌ According to a new demographic study in the UK, population changes are such that within the next 40 years, the white population of the country will become a minority. ‌ Currently, 73% of the UK's population is white, but this figure is projected to drop to 53% by 2050. ‌ Shifts in cultural and social structures are among the factors driving these demographic changes. For example, it is predicted that within 30 years, Muslims will make up 20% of the UK's total population. ‌ Domestic instability, dire economic conditions, and foreign wars are some of the reasons driving migrants from their home countries to the UK. ‌ These statistics could have significant impacts on the UK’s broader policies in the future.
