Co-ordinated Release of Population and Migration Outputs, May 2010
The Office for National Statistics (ONS), the Home Office and the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) have today simultaneously published a range of demographic data. This forms part of a series of co-ordinated releases of population and migration data, and is part of a ‘coherent reporting’ programme for demographic statistics.
Internal UK migration:
- The number of people moving into Wales from the rest of the UK in the twelve months ending September 2009 was around 50,000. The number of people moving from Wales to the rest of the UK was around 48,700. This gives a net inward migration of around 1,300 for the period September 2008 to September 2009. This is less than the net inward migration figure of 3,600 for the previous 12 months, but is higher than the net inward migration figure of 600 for the 12 months ending June 2009.
