From what we do for work, how many children we have and our energy sources, to the strength of sterling, the United Kingdom has changed a great deal since the Queen came to the throne.
Migration is what drives the increase in population in the second half of the Queen's reign. While in the 1950s, 60s and 70s there was a net outflow of people from the UK - the"brain drain" as it's sometimes called - from the 1990s onwards the number of migrants coming into the country dramatically outweighed those leaving. Many, but not all, of these people came from the EU. It was an enormous cultural shift.Nor was it the only such shift.
In 1952 the UK was, as measured by GDP per capita, the third-most prosperous in the Group of Seven leading industrialised economies - behind only the US and Canada. By 2018 it was sixth out of seven, with only Italy having lower income per capita . In other words, in absolute terms, the UK is better off; in relative terms, it has fallen down the leaderboard.One area where decline is rather more obvious, however, is the strength of sterling.
