Statistical research about how life in Britain has changed over last 60 years.

As part of a small TV feature on the Queen's Diamond Jubilee we need a run down of statistics comparing how we lived in 1952 with today. The kind of facts that would appear in a feature in the Daily Mail so think popular journalism rather than academic paper. Birth rates, death rates, immigration rates, cost of living, health, diet, biggest towns, population changes. For the right person it's probably a day's work. Deadline is asap!
