The table displays the total amount of emigrants from five different European countries (UK, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain) who were settled in each of the mentioned nations in 2011.
Overall, Germany and UK were the most preferred destinations for emigration, while Poland had the highest tendency to emigrate but received significantly fewer immigrants from other countries.
First of all, as it is shown by the table, Germany and UK had the largest immigrant populations, with 1,198,000 and 1,037,000, respectively. Notably, 550,000 Poles resided in the UK, while Germany attracted 556,000 Italians. Similarly, Italy attracted a considerable number of Polish people, totaling 106,000, reflecting remarkable migration between these countries. Another trend that can be observed is that Spain was Europe’s least emigrated-to nation, with the total number of immigrants from all nations amounting to just over 200,000.
Meanwhile, Poland had the fewest immigrants, attracting less than 1,000 individuals from the UK, Italy, and Spain, and just 4,000 from Germany. In total, Poland’s immigrant population was only 6,000, a substantial contrast to the six-figure totals in other countries.
