The combined impact of fertility and migration on population in the UK
The combined impact of fertility and migration on population in the UK
Using a recently proposed measure; the overall replacement ratio or ORR, we assess the extent to which migration alters intergenerational replacement within the United Kingdom. The UK as a whole can be seen to experience “replacement migration” as immigration compensates for fertility below the replacement level. However, we find the impact of migration differs radically in the different regions of the country. South East England experiences very substantially immigration from both the rest of the UK and overseas, far more than is needed for intergenerational replacement, whereas most of the rest of the UK sees little or no net immigration and the ORR remains below the replacement level. This briefing summarises research published in Population Trends no. 145.

Abstract
Using a recently proposed measure; the overall replacement ratio or ORR, we assess the extent to which migration alters intergenerational replacement within the United Kingdom. The UK as a whole can be seen to experience “replacement migration” as immigration compensates for fertility below the replacement level. However, we find the impact of migration differs radically in the different regions of the country. South East England experiences very substantially immigration from both the rest of the UK and overseas, far more than is needed for intergenerational replacement, whereas most of the rest of the UK sees little or no net immigration and the ORR remains below the replacement level. This briefing summarises research published in Population Trends no. 145.
