- fakedang 1y agoThe number of Indian immigrants in 2023 was 3x the number of Pakistani immigrants to the UK. 250k vs 83k. https://m.economictimes.com/nri/migrate/indians-top-list-of-immigrants-to-uk-in-2023-heres-how-many-went-to-work-study-and-play/articleshow/110490709.cms https://m.economictimes.com/nri/migrate/indians-top-list-of-... Perhaps one could argue that Indian migrants tend to be educational and work migrants, while Pakistani migrants tend to be family reunification migrants. But that again points back to the cultural reasons behind certain communities doing well, based on what they prioritize.
- dash2 1y agoThe raw numbers don’t seem to address gp’s point. Indian migration started earlier than Pakistani migration, so you’d expect more second+ generation migrants among Indians. Edit: sorry, I didn’t realise you meant migrant flows. That is relevant, though it would still be better to control for generation.
