National population projections migration assumptions methodology review

In 2012 the Office for National Statistics (ONS) commissioned CPC researcher, Dr Jakub Bijak, to carry out a review of the methodology used in setting migration assumptions for the national population projections and to make recommendations for future methods.

As a result, the methodology for setting the migration assumptions for the 2012-based national population projections has been revised to incorporate findings from the review.
