Mixed Race was included as an ethnic classification on the UK Census from 2001. The census used 8 different sub-categories covering different combinations of Asian, Black and White ethnic origins. Colloquially it refers to British citizens whose parents are of different races or ethnic backgrounds, and to the offspring of such people.

Statistics

In the 2001 census, people of mixed race made up 1.2% of the UK population with 677,117 people. The UK national statistics now estimate that as of 2006, almost 830,000 mixed race people reside in England alone, of which those of white and Black Caribbean origin make up the largest share.[1]

Mixed Race breakdown in the United Kingdom

Total in United Kingdom: 863,520 or 1.4 percent

The mixed race population is the fastest growing group, climbing by more than 21 percent in 5 years since the 2001 census. Of the mixed race population, the white and Black African category has grown the fastest.

The mixed race population has a younger age profile than any other minority ethnic group in Britain, where 50% is under 16 years of age. By the year 2020, mixed race Britons are expected to have outnumbered British Indians (currently more than 1.6 million members), to become the largest ethnic minority in Britain, showing a 50% increase in the mixed race population in a decade to come[1][2]. According to National statistics, in 2005, 3.5 percent of all births in Britain were mixed race or 22,730 babies though this number could be higher in the 2008 year.[2]
