伦敦英国白人不再占多数

White Britons no longer make up the majority of people in London for the first time, according to the latest census data which pointed to a cosmopolitan capital increasingly divergent from the national economy around it.

最新人口普查数字显示，英国白人首次不再占据伦敦人口大多数，表明这一国际化都市的人口越来越多样化，与该市以外的英国经济体差别越来越大。

The 2011 data also revealed a population of England and Wales that is generally better educated but less religious than it was a decade ago – and less likely to live in a home that they own.

这一2011年的数据还显示，比起10年前，英格兰和威尔士的人口普遍受教育程度更高，而信仰宗教的人更少，此外他们居住在自己拥有的房子中的比例更低。

The total population rose by 3.7m to 56.1m, an increase of 7 per cent from the previous census in 2001. Migration was responsible for 60 per cent of that growth – 2.1m people.

与2001年上一次人口普查的数据相比较，英格兰和威尔士的人口总数增加了370万，达到5610万，增长率为7%。增加的人口中移民人口为210万，占了60%。

Of the 13 per cent of the population who were born outside the UK – 7.5m residents – just more than half arrived within the past 10 years. This compares with the 2001 census, when 9 per cent of the population was born outside the UK.
