White British people will become a minority in the UK within the next 40 years, according to a new report.
Through analysis of birth and death rates as well as migration figures up to the end of the 21st Century, it is predicted that white people will become a minority by 2063.
Currently, 73 per cent of the British population is white, but this is predicted to drop to 57 per cent by 2050.
Research by GB News presenter and professor at Buckingham University, Matt Goodwin, projects a significant increase in the number of individuals from foreign-born and second-generation immigrants, rising from below 20 per cent to 33.5 per cent within the next 25 years.

By 2100, the report suggests that 60 per cent of the UK will either have at least one immigrant parent or will not have been born in the UK.
The Muslim population is estimated to rise to 19.2 per cent by the end of the century, with it currently standing at seven per cent.
Goodwin said that the research is based on census data and the Office for National Statistics, and will raise “profound questions about the capacity of the UK state to both absorb and manage this scale of demographic change”.
