Life in the UK Test 19
What percentage of the British population has a parent or grandparent born outside of the UK as a result of post-war immigration?
Correct Answer: Nearly 10% of the population
As a result of post-war immigration, nearly 10% of the British population has a parent or grandparent born outside the UK.
From the late 1940s onwards, people from the Caribbean, South Asia, Africa, and other parts of the Commonwealth came to Britain to work, fill labour shortages, and rebuild post-war society.
This wave of immigration transformed Britain into the multicultural country it is today.
