The UK's overall population is set to reach 73m people by 2037 with the number of people aged 80 and over set to double, according to an ONS report.
The 2011 census put the UK population at roughly 63m, which means that the projected 2012 figure would represent a relatively gradual growth of 15% in 26 years.
The projection also suggests that the UK's population will increase past 70m in 2028. The figures have been revised very slightly downwards from the 2010 projections. For example, the total population projected for mid-2022 is expected to be 0.2% lower than in the 2010 attempt.
