<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">From: R. F. Hahn <<a href="mailto:sassisch@yahoo.com">sassisch@yahoo.com</a>></span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Subject: Demographics</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Dear Lowlanders,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">In the latest issue of the BritishExpats Newsletter (BritishExpats.com) there is an interesting article about demographic changes. Please find the brief below.
<br><br>I was surprised to hear that more than twice as many British people live in Australia than in Canada and that also the USA have more British residents than Canada.<br><br>By the way, there are now well over 100,000 Australians in the USA, and the number of expatriate Australians around the world is now large enough for the Australian government to finally beginning to realize that expat Australians are a force to be reckoned with.
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Regards,</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Reinhard/Ron</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">***</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">
Back in December the Institute for Public Policy Research, a UK 'think
tank', released a very interesting report which contained the results
of research they did involving the experiences of Brits living in
countries all around the world. According to the report more than
198,000 British nationals moved overseas last year, bringing the total
number of Brits abroad to more than 5.5 million. Apparently Britain now
has more people living abroad than almost any other country. The top 10
countries where Brits live, together accounting for around 75 per cent
of all Brits living abroad, are:
</span><ul style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><li>Australia 1.3 million, equivalent to 2 per cent of UK population</li><li>Spain 760,000</li><li>USA 680,000</li><li>Canada 600,000</li><li>Ireland 290,000</li><li>New Zealand 215,000
</li><li>South Africa 212,000</li><li>France 200,000</li><li>Germany 115,000</li><li>Cyprus 59,000</li></ul><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"> Another thing that came to light in the report was that almost as
many British nationals have left the UK as non-British nationals who
have entered the UK and that the number of people emigrating in recent
years has started to increase in net terms. We are truly becoming a
'global community' and it looks like the number of British citizens
living abroad will continue to grow.<br><br></span>
