What you see is the UK population is not a pyramid as it normally is when the population is growing. The other thing you notice is in the group with the most new migrants, i.e. 20 something, the population is lower than the 45-55 (now 50-60) so there is no bulge coming through after the baby boomers. The second thing is the dearth of teenagers (note the graph is 5 years old). so there will be a problem over the next ten years of a substantial number of people leaving the workforce and not being replaced.
i.e. there is no new "migrant boomer" bulge coming through in 50 years.
There are still less babies being born than during the baby boom, in the 1950's and 1960's so I fail to see how the population is going to "explode".

Over a quarter (27.5%) of live births in 2015 were to mothers born outside the UK, the highest level on record.

If you check the demographics....
Not something you're going to read in the Daily Mail though.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20.../population.eu
For ever expanding the population is the daftest solution possible. The UK, and eventually the Earth, has limited resources. The better solutions are increasing time people spend working, reduction of welfare, increasing use of technology to do many jobs and, just maybe, abandoning the daft idea that our wealth has to grow every year.Last edited by xoggoth; 9 March 2017, 17:15.

I know that must sound absurdly futuristic and implausible. But assuming off-Earth colonies do take off in the coming decades and centuries it makes much more sense to reserve Earth for young people, especially in relation to child birth and growing up in full gravity, and for older people to leave them more room and brave the extra cosmic radiation while developing and maintaining colonies.
