The charts compare the reasons for immigration and emigration with six types of information in the UK.
Overall, a definite job was the most widely-spread approach to immigration, in contrast, the lowest was no reason stated. Similar as immigration, the majority reason for emigration was a definite job, but the lowest point was formal study.
Looking at the data on immigration, the most significant share was a definite job, which was less than one-third (30%), the second highest proportion was for formal study, peaking at more than a quarter.
This was 11% and 15% higher than accompanying and looking for work, respectively. No reason stated was about half as much as the other, and the contribution of “other” was 11 %.
Regarding immigration, the lowest percentage was formal study at 4% which increased consecutively about threefold and accounted for 13% and 14% between no reason stated and looking for work was 4%, the latter being less than a quarter. The most significant proportion was 29% for a definite work.
