The pie charts illustrate the reasons for immigration to a European country and emigration from a European country in 2009. Overall, definite job and accompany/family were the most common reasons for immigration, while having no reason was the least common for both charts. The proportions for other reasons varied between the two charts.
Regarding immigration to the European country, the largest proportion was for accompany/family at 25%, followed by definite job at 23%. The shares for looking for work, study, and other reasons were all equal at 15%. Having no reason was nearly two times lower than these, at 7%.
In contrast, the emigration chart shows some differences. Here, definite job accounted for the largest share at 38%. Meanwhile, other reasons accounted for 23%, and accompany/family accounted for 15%. The proportion for looking for work was 2% lower than that for accompany/family. There was a 3% difference between study and having no reason, with study having a higher percentage.
