In the year to June 2025, approximately 898,000 people migrated to the United Kingdom, while 693,000 people migrated from the country, resulting in a net migration figure of 204,000. There have consistently been more people migrating to the United Kingdom than leaving it since 1993 when approximately 1,000 more people left the country than arrived. Although migration from the European Union has declined since the Brexit vote of 2016, migration from non-EU countries accelerated rapidly from 2021 onwards. In the year to June 2023, 968,000 people from non-EU countries migrated to the UK, compared with 129,000 from EU member states. Immigration and the 2024 election Since late 2022, immigration, along with the economy and healthcare, has consistently been seen by UK voters as one of the top issues facing the country. Despite a pledge to deter irregular migration via small boats, and controversial plans to send asylum applicants to Rwanda while their claims are being processed, Rishi Sunak's Conservative government lost the trust of the public on this issue. On the eve of the last election, 20 percent of Britons thought the Labour Party would be the best party to handle immigration, compared with 13 percent who thought the Conservatives would handle it better. Sunak and the Conservatives went on to lose this election, suffering their worst defeat in modern elections. Historical context of migration The first humans who arrived in the British Isles, were followed by acts of conquest and settlement from Romans, Anglo-Saxons, Danes, and Normans. In the early modern period, there were also significant waves of migration from people fleeing religious or political persecution, such as the French Huguenots. More recently, large numbers of people also left Britain. Between 1820 and 1957, for example, around 4.5 million people migrated from Britain to America. After World War Two, immigration from Britain's colonies and former colonies was encouraged to meet labour demands. A key group that migrated from the Caribbean between the late 1940s and early 1970s became known as the Windrush generation, named after one of the ships that brought the arrivals to Britain.

Migration is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that has significant social, economic, and political implications. Net migration, which is the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a country, is an important measure of the movement of people across borders. Net migration can be influenced by a variety of factors, including economic opportunities, political stability, social networks, and cultural ties.

The net migration per country dataset provides a comprehensive overview of the net migration of each country. The dataset includes information on the number of immigrants, emigrants, and net migration, covering all countries in the world. It is compiled from various sources, including national statistical agencies, international organizations such as the United Nations (UN), and other relevant data sources.

The net migration per country dataset can be used by researchers, policymakers, and the general public to gain insight into the patterns and trends of migration across the world and to compare the relative levels of migration across different countries and regions. It can also be used to monitor changes in migration patterns over time and to evaluate the effectiveness of migration policies and strategies.

Overall, the net migration per country dataset is an important resource for understanding the dynamics of migration and for developing policies and strategies that promote safe, orderly, and regular migration for the benefit of migrants, sending countries, and receiving countries alike.

In 2023, Northern America was the region with the highest level of net immigration, while Asia was the region with the highest level of net emigration. There is a clear trend of people moving from poorer regions of the Global South to more affluent regions, however it must be noted that these figures do not reflect internal migration within continents, such as the large number of migrants from South Asia to the Middle East, or movement from Eastern to Western Europe.

In Northern America, the United States was the largest recipient of immigrants, receiving one million more immigrants than emigrants lost. In contrast, in Asia, India and China had the largest number of net emigrants, totalling roughly 500,000 and 300,000 people respectively.

Population in The Netherlands on 1 January by sex, age, marital status, generation and migration background.

CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.

Data available from 1996 to 2022.

Status of the figures: All figures in the table are final.

Changes per 13 January 2023: None, this table was discontinued.

When will new figures be published? No longer applicable. This table is succeeded by the table Population; sex, age, country of origin, country of birth, 1 January. See section 3.
