The pie charts show the main reasons why people moved to a European country and why people left a European country in 2009.
Overall, work was the most important reason for both groups, but the other reasons were different. People who came to the country often had family or study reasons, while people who left mostly had a definite job.
In 2009, the biggest reason for moving to the European country was accompany/family (25%). Having a definite job was the second biggest reason (23%). Study was also very popular and had almost the same percentage (about 15%). Looking for a job and other reasons were both 15%, and only 7% of people had no special reason.
On the other hand, the reasons for leaving the country were very different. The largest group (38%) left because they already had a definite job in another place. This was much higher than for people coming in. Looking for a job was still important (13%), but leaving for study was smaller than people coming in (only 7%). Family reasons were popular (15%), other reasons stayed at 23%, and 4% had no reason.In conclusion, family and education attracted many people to the European country, but most people who left had already found a good job somewhere else.
