The line graph and pie chart illustrates migration data to the UK. The graph compares the length that immigrants planned to stay for 8 years, starting in 2000 while the pie chart gives explanation for migration in the year 2008.
Overall, the line chart reveals that the majority of immigrants stayed up to 2 years while the pie chart shows the main reason for migration is moving for work.
When it comes to the line graph, the number of immigrants in the “4 or more years” and “up to 2 years” categories remained equal at 150 thousand in 2000. However, after experiencing a rapid surge from 150 thousand people in 2001 to reach a high of 250 thousand people in 2004, the figure for “up to 2 years” flattened out until the end of the period. In addition, the figure for individuals intended to stay for 2 to 4 years fluctuated between about 50 thousand and roughly 100 thousand throughout the period.
Regarding the pie chart in the year 2008, the percentages for reasons of “Others” and “No reason started” accounted for the same 7%. By contrast, the proportion of people who migrated for work made up the highest rate, at 38%. While the purpose for study took up 32%, followed by accompany/ join family at 16%.
