Our hospitals and care homes couldn’t function without overseas workers;
building sites that we need to deliver more homes and big infrastructure
projects, such as the roll-out of broadband, would also stall.

Of course, there are concerns around immigration. Here are the most common. One – most immigrants to the UK are from Eastern Europe. While this may have been the case a decade ago, recent figures from the Office for National Statistics suggest many are from countries such as France, Germany and Italy.
-
Two – EU migrants are unskilled. In fact, many are well-educated and plug shortages in sectors such as IT and engineering.

At present, lifestyle and behaviour are linked to 20-25% of the global burden of disease. This proportion is rapidly increasing in poorer countries. In the developing regions, where four-fifths of the planet's people live, noncommunicable diseases such as depression and heart disease, as well as road traffic deaths, are fast replacing the traditional enemies such as infectious diseases and malnutrition, as the leading causes of disability and premature death.
-
By the year 2020, noncommunicable diseases are expected to account for seven out of every ten deaths in the developing regions, compared with less than half today. Injuries, both unintentional and intentional, are also growing in importance and by 2020 could rival infectious diseases as a source of ill-health.

In developed countries, the necessary replacement rate is about 2.1. Since replacement can not occur if a child does not grow to maturity and have their own offspring, the need for the extra .1 child (a 5% buffer) per woman is due to the potential for death and those who choose or are unable to have children. In less developed countries, the replacement rate is around 2.3 due to higher childhood and adult death rates
