We analyse the 2022-based national population projections from the Office for National Statistics and focus on the mortality assumptions, relevant to our work.

Details
The Office for National Statistics (ONS) published its 2022-based national population projections indicating the future development of the UK and its constituent countries’ population size and age structure. We examine the assumptions relating to mortality underlying the projections, which are frequently used in our work. We look at how the assumptions are set, their impact on life expectancy compared to previous versions of the projections and the variant projections provided. GAD hosted a webinar on the projections in April.
