Description

Migration statistics, as published by the National Records of Scotland (NRS). These statistics provide more detail on the migration component of population change for Scotland on a national and council level, as calculated for the mid-year population estimates. The migration estimates are broken down by single year of age, and sex.

Details
Confidentiality Policy

This dataset does not contain any sensitive or personal information.
Quality Management

The migration estimates undergo quality assurance at each stage of production. NRS also have processes in place to quality assure the administrative sources used in the production of migration estimates. Further information on the quality assurance of the migration estimates can be found in the Mid-year Population Estimates Methodology Guide on the National Records of Scotland (NRS) website.
Accuracy and Reliability

Internal (i.e. within UK) migration estimates are based on General Practitioner (GP) registrations and are considered reasonably accurate for most groups. They may be less accurate for some groups such as young men, as they tend not to register with a GP immediately on moving.

International migration estimates are based largely on the International Passenger Survey for most years. However the number of migrant contacts for Scotland is very small and there is a significant degree of uncertainty surrounding the estimates, due to the size of the sample.

Methods to produce international migration estimates changed for mid-2020 and mid-2021. For the year ending June 2021, they rely less on International Passenger Survey (IPS) data and make greater use of administrative data. This means that the latest figures on international migration may not be comparable with previous estimates produced from the IPS or more recently using some statistical modelling (for the year ending June 2021). More information on this and the different methodologies can be found on the [Office for National Statistics website] (https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration/methodologies/methodstoproduceprovisionallongterminternationalmigrationestimates).
Coherence and Comparability

The statistics are designed to be consistent, and incorporate comparable historical data where appropriate. Because of a change in method, the latest figures on international migration may not be comparable with previous estimates.

The internal and international migration estimates are comparable with those from the rest of the UK. The United Nations (UN) definition of an international migrant (someone that changes country of residence for 12 months or more) is used and so international migration estimates should be comparable with other countries.
Accessibility and Clarity

It is the policy of the National Records of Scotland to make its website and products accessible according to published guidelines. More information is available in the Accessibility section of the NRS website.
Relevance

Migration is a key component of population change, so these estimates have a wide range of users including National and Local Government, health service providers, the third sector and commercial organisations.
Timeliness and Punctuality

The estimates refer to the population as at 30 June each year. The migration estimates for Scotland, council areas and health board areas are usually published ten months after this date.
Revisions

Revisions and corrections to previously published statistics are dealt with in accordance with the Scottish Government Statistician Group corporate policy statement on revisions and corrections - a copy of which is available on the Scottish Government website.

The mid-year population estimates for 2002 to 2010 were revised following the 2011 Census and were published in December 2013. Overseas and total net migration was revised for Scotland, NHS Board and Council areas.

The mid-year population estimates for 2012 to 2014 were corrected following an error in the age distribution of migrants uncovered in 2015. Overseas, rest of UK and within Scotland migration figures were corrected for Scotland, NHS Board and Council areas.
