If to go as per the latest figures put forth by Eurostat, it has been unveiled that no other country in the European Union than Britain has been witnessing such a massive rise in its population.

As per the figures, it has been found that the population of the UK has increased by almost three times the EU average, which was in 2012. Now the total population of the nation stands at 63.888million.

One of the major contributors of the rise in the population of the country is immigration. More than 33% of the rise has been credited to immigration. One of the other factors for the rise in population is high birth rate.

Simon Ross, chief executive of Population Matters, was of the view that figures are quite concerning. Britain is already called the most populated country in the Europe and such revelations add to the ongoing problem.

"If we are serious about tackling the many issues we face as a society, we need to address one of the principal underlying causes, which is population growth", affirmed Ross.

To talk about the second most populated country in Europe after England is France. Its total population now stands at 65,633,200.
