The pie charts show the reasons for migration to and from the UK in 2007. Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

The pie charts demonstrate why people emigrated from and immigrated to the

UK

in 2007. Looking from an

overall

perspective, immigration to the

UK

was primarily related to occupational and educational reasons

while

emigration from

this

country was mostly for work only. Looking at the charts, it is evidently apparent that definite jobs were the most common

reason

for both entering and leaving the

UK

, with 30% of

UK

immigrants going to

this

country and 29% of the emigrants leaving it

for

this

reason

, respectively. The figures for formal study,

on the other hand

, indicate a contrasting trend. Whilst

this

was the second-most-popular

reason

for immigrating to the

UK

(at 26%), only 4% of the

UK

students left their country for

further

education, representing the least chosen

reason

in the emigration chart. Turning to the emigration chart, looking for a job was the second runner-up incentive why people emigrated from the

UK

in 2007, with more than one-fifth of emigrants choosing

this

reason

(22%)

while

in the former chart, it accounts for only a bit more than a tenth of

UK

leavers (12%).
