Birmingham has been named as the city with the highest standard of living among all UK regional cities. It is currently Europe\u2019s youngest city and ~46% of its population is under 30. With a vast pool of young talent, Birmingham has consistently delivered strong economic growth and performance and is one of the strongest performing economies in the UK, exceeding the average growth rate for the UK.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Its growth has been fueled by a growing youth population with it currently retaining 49% of its students upon graduation, the second highest proportion outside London.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Birmingham is also the UK\u2019s second largest student population with the Top 20 universities less than an hour\u2019s drive away.
