People, population and community We now have migration statistics for the first full year since the UK voted to leave the EU. What do we know so far?  Our latest article examines changes in the numbers of people coming to live in the UK, and leaving the UK, in the year since EU referendum. Immigration to the UK continues to be higher than emigration, meaning that more people are coming to live in the UK than are leaving. Net migration, the difference between the number of people coming to live in the UK and the number of people leaving to live elsewhere, fell to 230,000 in the year ending June 2017. This was down from the recent peak seen in the year ending June 2016 and is now at a similar level to 2014. EU net migration accounts for over three-quarters of the fall in net migration. Over the longer term, varying levels of net migration are not unusual and we have seen net migration rise and fall between 140,000 and 336,000 over the last 20 years. While immigration continues to be higher than emigration, the total number of people immigrating has fallen. At the same time, the number of EU citizens emigrating has increased. The number of people moving to the UK to take up a "definite job" has remained stable, however, fewer people were coming to the UK "looking for work".
