The nation has almost cent percent literacy rate and this is attributed to universal public education system introduced in 1870 . The number of people above 65 years is significantly high. Majority of the people live in the urban areas but the rate of urbanization currently is steady. The net immigration rate is very high and this was one of the major reasons for Brexit.
The biggest factor that is said to influence UK’s economy is the Brexit vote. However , contrary to popular predictions that UK economy would be in a deep trouble after the Brexit vote , the growth of the nation has been slow as before. It is not that it has been completely unaffected by the referendum. As the value of pound Sterling fell , the fiscal deficit has risen. The sudden drop in the value of pound has given rise to many complications. Ken Research in its analysis says, the import costs have shot up and doing global business has become expensive. This vote also led to a tiff between tesco and its biggest supplier, Unilever . Unilever wanted to increase prices in the UK to compensate for drop in value. This led Tesco to temporarily stopping sale of its most famous brands – including Marmite – to online shoppers.
