No, net inward migration is currently falling sharply, following a massive post-Brexit surge (the “Boriswave”). In 2024, total “net migration” (that is, inward minus outward) was 421,000 – half the level of the previous year. By late 2023, immigration was running at roughly 1.3 million people a year. Subtract those emigrating in that period (roughly 400,000) and that was record net inward migration of nearly 906,000 people (in the year to summer 2023). In 2023 about 6.5 million moved to the 38 countries that make up the OECD rich-nation club through permanent migration routes.
