The graphs illustrate data on migration to the UK. The line chart shows the duration of expected stays from 2000 to 2008, while the pie chart demonstrates the rationales of migration in 2008.
Overall, there was an increase in the number of immigrants expected to stay in the UK for no more than two years. In addition, work was the key cause of migration in 2008.
The number of immigrants in the "up to 2 years" started at 150 thousand in 2000, after which it experienced a rise to 250 thousand in 2004, before ending the period at roughly 250 thousand. Similar changes can be seen in the figures for people who expected to stay for 2 to 4 years, which was at around 50 thousand in 2000, followed by a slight increase to 100 thousand in 2008. Meanwhile, the figures for people planning to resettle for 4 or more years remained relatively stable, hovering about 150 thousand.
The pie chart shows that 38% of all immigrants come to work, which is the most prominent factor. The study ranked second, accounting for 32% of all immigrants, followed by accompanying/family participants with 16%. Other reasons and non-respondents both accounted for 7% of the total.
