Life in the UK Test 35
The population is very equally distributed over the four parts of the UK.
Correct Answer: False
False. The UK's population is not equally distributed across the four nations. England is home to around 84% of the UK's total population of approximately 67 million people, making it by far the most populous nation.
Scotland accounts for approximately 8%, Wales around 5% and Northern Ireland less than 3%. This significant imbalance reflects historical patterns of settlement, industrialisation and economic migration.
