The pie charts demonstrate some primary reasons why people decided to immigrate and emigrate to the UK in 2007.
Overall, it is evident that the main rationale for immigration and emigration among UK dwellers is their definite jobs. In addition, academic reasons accounted for a significantly low percentage of émigré, while the figure for immigrants showed a contrasting pattern.
Taking a closer look to the pie chart, it is clear that 30% of immigrants visited the UK for definite jobs, which was closely similar to the percentage of emigrants, at 29%. Conversely, the proportion of people who immigrated to the UK for education was 26%, whereas only 4% of emigrants went to the UK to study.
Turning to other reasons, the figure for immigration was 11%, which was 3% less than emigration counterparts. Similar patterns but to a greater extent can be seen in the percentage of people who visited the UK to look for work, and the respective figures were 12% and 22%. When it comes to the rate of people preferring not to mention the reasons represented 6% for immigrants, which was triple the figure of émigré. The proportion of immigrations for accompany or join with someone was 15%, in comparison with 13% of emigration.
