Work, study and family

Coverage

Every pot on this map, and whether the public paper is published, partial, or missing. Work, study, family and EU settlement stay separate. We do not add them to asylum support.

Missing is not zero. A UK total is not a Scotland figure. SLAB is immigration and asylum together — cited, not added.
