Local migration statistics resource guide

Anne Green, David Owen and Duncan Adam from the Warwick Institute for Employment Research have prepared a resource guide on local migration statistics (PDF, 2.7MB) on behalf of Local Government Association analysis and research.

The guide should assist local authorities and their partners in developing local population and migration estimates and trends.

The guide focuses on the strategic importance of international migration and associated issues at local and sub-regional levels.

The guide also outlines the strengths and weaknesses of available data sources and provides a guide to sources of intelligence on migration at local level.

The guide is presented in three parts:

1. Addresses the strategic importance of migration.
2. Provides details of key sources of information and intelligence, as well as addressing generic issues in using migration data sources.
3. Provides further information on using migration data, including examples of the use of different data sources and links to further information and reference sources on migration.
