^{(1 )}Figures are where the estimate has a standard error >25 per cent., these estimates are considered less reliable than other estimates. ⁽²⁾ Age groups are split above and below retirement age. This is 60 for females and 65 for males. Notes: 1. The International Passenger Survey (IPS) is a continuous voluntary sample survey conducted by the Office for National Statistics. It covers the principal air, sea and channel tunnel routes between the UK and countries outside the British Isles. 2. This table relates solely to the IPS. IPS data forms the major part of international migration. However, total international migration estimates are produced by combining migration data from the IPS, Home Office data on asylum seekers, migration data between the UK and the Irish Republic and adjustments for ‘switchers’, i.e. those whose initial length of stay intentions are not realised.
