An estimated 500 000 young people have left UK due to a combination of COVID + Brexit.
A number of studies show half a million people aged between 18-39 left the UK in the final provisional years of Brexit & as COVID struck.

The decline in older people has been far less pronounced as older settled foreigners choose to stay while a significant number of older British citizens decided to return full time from EU states to the UK.

This is a good link as it shows a number of different estimates.
At this stage we don’t know exactly how many people have left - although no one serious is denying something dramatic has happened in population flows & numbers.

There also seems a clear intersection with COVID & Brexit as it’s not clear how some of those who left could return - if they wanted to - or be replaced due to the new entrance/immigration rules.
Also the economic effect of COVID + Brexit is hard to completely disentangle.
