The pie chart showed information about the reasons why the UK’s people moved out and the foreign people moved into the UK in the year of 2007.
From an overall perspective, definiting job was the most reason in both immigration and emigration. While formal study was the least reason why people in the UK went to another country, people immigrating to the UK stated no reason was the lowest reason.
Under one third people migrated for job, which was the most common reason, particularly 30% in immigration and 29% in emigration. While 18% of people did not state their reason why they migrate to a new country, this figure only accounted for 6% in the immigration, which was the lowest point in the chart. The percentage of formal study reason in immigration was significantly higher than that of the emigration. In detail, the latter figure was 26%, the second highest in the category of immigration and only 4% for the former, the lowest point.
While accompanying/joining and other reasons showed no big differences in 2 categories, the percentage of looking forward for work in emigration was almost twice that of immigration, at 22% and 12%, respectively. Other reasons and accompanying/joining percentage were around under 15% in both categories.
