8% of a population doing any singular thing is rather significant.

For instance: in the 90's less than 10% (but more than 5%) of British people were going to university. But that has profound effects on the population.

Going to the university at any one moment. 1/4th of the UK workforce has a collage degree.

Aka more than 25% of 18-20 year where in collage in the UK.
