International Migrants in England and Wales 2011

Two key variables have been used to define international migrants: country of birth and passports held (to determine nationality).

• In 2011 13 per cent (7.5 million) of usual residents of England and Wales were born outside the UK; in 2001 this was 9 per cent (4.6 million).
• The most common non-UK countries of birth for usual residents of England and Wales in 2011 were India, Poland and Pakistan. Poland showed by far the largest percentage increase in the top ten countries of birth, with a nine-fold rise over the last decade and following its accession to the EU in 2004.
• There were 4.8 million non-UK passports held by usual residents of England and Wales in 2011, accounting for 9 per cent of the resident population. Of these, 2.3 million were EU (non-UK) passports.
• Around half (3.8 million) of all usual residents of England and Wales on census day who were born outside the UK last arrived in the UK between 2001 and 2011.
• All regions in England and Wales showed an increase in usual residents born outside the UK between 2001 and 2011; the largest numerical increases were in London and the South East. London had both the largest proportion of usual residents born outside the UK (37 per cent of its resident population) and non-UK nationals (24 per cent of its resident population).
• Some people born abroad will be UK citizens, either because their parents were UK citizens overseas at the time of their birth, or because they have been granted UK citizenship since arriving.
• Across England and Wales, the ten local authorities with the highest proportions of both non-UK born and non-UK nationals in their resident population were all London boroughs.

  2011 Census: good news, bad news or both?

  
  
  The census confirms that fewer now call themselves Christian, but they are still 59% against the Muslim 4.8%. Though less than half of those over 16 (an odd cut-off point that?), the married (46.6%) are still the largest block, and not all single adult households hope to remain that way and probably won't. Renters outnumber mortgage holders (a serious reflection on price and shortage) but homeowners who have paid it off should not be overlooked either.
  
  
  Young people and british identity:
  Spontaneous associations with Britishness amongst young people include the Queen, tea and crumpets, and Big Ben etc, which are rather “old world” versions and do not reflect a contemporary Britain or social reality. For many young people Britain represents an old,
  hierarchical, traditional, political discourse that does not fit with the fresh, inventive, messy and often chaotic world of a teenager. Furthermore, many young people in this research do
  not know the geo-political story of Great Britain or the United Kingdom.
