Today, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) published the fifth and final release of a series of detailed articles on the topic of international migration that we have been producing using data from Census 2021.
The analysis in this article provides an overview of a range of social characteristics of residents of England and Wales in 2021 who were born outside the UK and have migrated to the UK at some point in the past. This group includes residents who were British at birth, but born abroad, as well as those who were born abroad then migrated to the UK and subsequently obtained a UK passport. It includes information on their country of birth, age, sex, housing, family, language, health, qualifications, religion, national identity and ethnicity.
Here are some of the main findings from this analysis.
- As length of residency increased, those born outside the UK tended to have similar characteristics to those born in the UK.
- The proportion of non-UK-born residents who lived in owner-occupied accommodation was lower than UK-born.
- Most non-UK-born usual residents had high levels of English proficiency.
- For those between the ages of 16 and 49 years, both EU-born and non-EU-born usual residents reported better health than UK-born.
- For non-EU-born usual residents, women were more likely than men to hold higher education qualifications (Level 4 or above) until age 54 years, while for EU-born this occurred for all those under the age of 80 years.
- Non-EU-born usual residents were more likely to report having a UK identity only compared with EU-born residents.
