The percentage of migrants with higher education qualifications varies considerably by country of origin.
For example, more than half of residents born in India, Nigeria and South Africa hold higher education qualifications.
For example, more than half of residents born in India, Nigeria and South Africa hold higher education qualifications.
The average age of migrants is lower than that of UK born residents.
As younger people are more likely to have a higher education qualification, this partly explains why more migrants hold them than UK-born residents.
However, it doesn't totally account for the difference.

Fewer than 4000 GRCs have been issued to males identifying as transwomen since 2004.
This means the 32K transwomen saying their sex is female cannot be explained by them having a GRC.

Fascinating new data from the #Census2021 on sexual orientation by age.
This doesn't mean being lesbian, gay or bisexual has become more common: it just means younger generations feel more able to come out and live their true lives.

The same goes for trans people.
The number of openly trans people will grow - just as the number of openly LGB people will, too - as younger people stand up to the bigotry of older generations.
