| Annotation | Data are used from the 1971 and 2001 Censuses together with the Labour Force Survey (LFS) of 1999-2003 and the International Passenger Surveys of 1977-2002 to investigate the migration processes contributing to the age structure and ageing of the UK's overseas-born population. Overall, almost half of recent decades' immigrants to the UK emigrate within 5 years of arrival, but with large variation of overseas country of birth. Between half and two-thirds of the immigrants born in the continental European Union (EU), North America and Oceania emigrate again within 5 years, while 15% of those born in the Indian sub-continent do so. Significant cumulative emigration more than 5 years after arrival is seen among earlier immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, the Caribbean Commonwealth and Europe. Large country-of-origin variations in the ratio of pension-age population to working-age population primarily reflect the country composition of immigration streams 30 or more years before. (RH). |
