New population estimates
In November we published our mid-year population estimates and a provisional estimate of international migration for June 2023.
We also provide an provisional estimate of net migration of students alongside these estimates. Population growth in mid-2022 was driven mostly by net international migration and you can read more analysis on this in our recent releases.
Update: Consultation on the future of population and migration statistics in England and Wales
We have published a consultation update which details the number of consultation responses by sector and outlines how we engaged with users of population and migration statistics both before and during the consultation. It also explains how we are carrying out our analysis of the responses.
These responses will inform a recommendation to government from the UK Statistics Authority, on the advice of the National Statistician. This will detail how the ONS should produce statistics about population and migration in the future, based on user needs.
Admin Based Population Estimates from the Dynamic Population Model (DPM)
On 18 December we will publish the latest research update into how we are refining and improving methods to produce Admin-Based Population Estimates (ABPE). These 2 articles support the continuous improvement of our population statistics by demonstrating our ability to produce more timely and inclusive population estimates in a flexible way that makes the best use of all available information. These estimates do not replace or replicate the National Statistics for population estimates.
Listening to our stakeholders
At the ONS, we're committed to providing high quality statistics and analysis for the public good.
We have launched our annual ONS Stakeholder satisfaction survey and would be grateful if you could take a few minutes to complete it. Your feedback will help us improve and ensure our statistics continue to meet your needs.
The survey can be completed anonymously and remains open until 22 January 2024.
