Statistics are most often revised for 1 of 2 reasons:

  1. For certain statistics initial estimates are released with the expectation that these may be revised and updated as further data becomes available.
  2. Revisions may also be made when methods or systems are changed.

These types of planned revisions should not be confused with errors in released statistics, which are genuine mistakes. Such mistakes occur rarely and, when they do happen, corrections are made in a timely manner, announced and clearly explained to users in line with the Code of Practice for Official Statistics (Principle 2, Practice 7).

Correction See correction
We have made several corrections to the data. As a result of these corrections, the mean error and mean percentage error figures have also been recalculated. Please be aware these corrections affect the analyses in this release but do not affect the national population projections (NPPs) themselves. We have also made further changes to improve the consistency of the overall formatting of the datasets. Some total population, deaths and births time series have been increased or decreased in length to match the rest of the datasets. Some figures for the UK NPPs were initially rounded, but have been changed to unrounded when that data was available. These corrections affect all figures within the release except Figure 3, and the following datasets: - Comparison of mid-year population estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries - Comparison of deaths estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries - Comparison of births estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries - Comparison of fertility estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries - Comparison of international migration estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries - Comparison of life expectancy estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries  - Comparison of old age dependency ratio estimates with projections, UK and constituent countries We have also updated the text where necessary. We apologise for this correction.
