Patterns and perceptions of migration, is Scotland distinct from the rest of the UK?
Patterns and perceptions of migration, is Scotland distinct from the rest of the UK?
The forthcoming referendum on the constitutional future of Scotland has inevitably been the focus of considerable public debate. The issue of migration has not featured strongly in these discussions. However there are grounds for believing that Scotland is ‘different’ from the rest of the UK in terms of migration patterns and in relation to public attitudes towards immigration. This briefing introduces some of the issues that are being addressed by an ESRC Centre for Population Change study investigating how migration in Scotland is different from the rest of the UK and how Scottish independence from the UK might affect migration. The results show that migration is a stronger determinant of future population change in Scotland than the rest of the UK and the general public in Scotland has a more tolerant view of migration than elsewhere in the UK.

Abstract
The forthcoming referendum on the constitutional future of Scotland has inevitably been the focus of considerable public debate. The issue of migration has not featured strongly in these discussions. However there are grounds for believing that Scotland is ‘different’ from the rest of the UK in terms of migration patterns and in relation to public attitudes towards immigration. This briefing introduces some of the issues that are being addressed by an ESRC Centre for Population Change study investigating how migration in Scotland is different from the rest of the UK and how Scottish independence from the UK might affect migration. The results show that migration is a stronger determinant of future population change in Scotland than the rest of the UK and the general public in Scotland has a more tolerant view of migration than elsewhere in the UK.
