The given line graph illustrates the number of immigrants and their corresponding years spent in the UK from 2000 to 2008 while the pie chart depicts what motivates this phenomenon in 2008
In general, the majority of migrants planned to stay for no more than 2 years, while job was the primary reason behind their movements.
Commencing with the line graph, while the figures for 2-year settlers started relatively low in the first 2 years with just 150 thousand people, it sharply rose by 100 thousand immigrants before remaining unchanged for the rest of the period. Those who expected to stay for more than 4 years witnessed a relatively stable trend for 9 years, culminating in a 150-thousand figure. The length between 2 and 4 years was the least adopted time with 50 thousand individuals in 2000. This intention experienced a slightly fluctuating tendency, ending with double its initial number.
Shifting the focus to the pie chart, 38% of foreigners immigrate to the UK for occupation reasons, which is the dominant cause for the migration. Educational purposes also contributed a large proportion with 32%, marking the second leading excuse. Companion constituted 16% of the total, outnumbering that of those who had unidentified purposes by more than a half. The total of the remaining reasons took up the same proportion as the mentioned one.
