Long-term international migration, provisional: year ending June 2022
What's in the bulletin?
- These official estimates of international migration use innovative methods and the best available sources to produce statistics for the year ending (YE) June 2020 to YE June 2022.
- They are experimental and provisional, and subject to revision as we continue to develop methods, and as the underlying data are improved and finalised.
- The period leading up to June 2022 was unique, with simultaneous factors coinciding to affect long-term immigration; this included the continued recovery in travel following the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a number of migration events including a new immigration system following transition from the EU, and the ongoing support for Ukrainian nationals and others requiring protection.
