Description | The project uses census data to show the redistribution of Britain's ethnic sub-populations through internal migration at a number of different spatial scales. Key Findings were as follows: Over 6 million people moved usual residence in 2000-01 and 91% of those were white. Amongst the nonwhite migrants, the black group had the largest shares of both inter and intra-district migrants. Chinese and 'other' non-white groups had the highest migration intensities with the Chinese having rates of inter-district migration almost twice the national average, whereas the Indians exhibited migration rates below those of white-British. Asian groups experienced the lowest migration rates in most ages and the rate differentials are most noticeable at age 20-24. Census microdata indicates convergence of ethnic migration propensity differentials between 1991 and 2001. The spatial pattern of net migration is dominated by white losses from metropolitan areas and gains in rural Britain, whereas net migration gains and losses for the non-white population are confined to urban areas and their immediate surrounds. London generated over 50,000 net out-migrants in 2000-01 and recorded losses across all the major ethnic groups. At district level, there is evidence of higher negative white net migration rates with increasing shares of non-white residents. Inner London is experiencing net migration losses which are offset by net inflows from the rest of the country and immigrants whereas outer boroughs are gaining from inner wards but losing to the rest of the country. In London, not only are the major non-white ethnic group migrants moving to areas with less deprivation but they are also moving towards areas with lower shares of population in the same ethnic groups as themselves. |
