Internal migration in Scotland and the UK: trends and policy lessons

Footnotes

1 The UN defines ‘internal migration’ as ‘The movement of people within a State involving the establishment of a new temporary or permanent residence… Internal migration movements can be temporary or permanent and include those who have been displaced from their habitual place of residence such as internally displaced persons, as well as persons who decide to move to a new place, such as in the case of rural–urban migration. The term also covers both nationals and non‐nationals moving within a State, provided that they move away from their place of habitual residence. (IOM, https://publications.iom.int/system/files/pdf/iml_34_glossary.pdf).

2 This excludes temporary stays in, for example, halls of residence.

3 Office for National Statistics (2018) describes how migration statistics are constructed for Scotland and the UK.
