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.
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.
After accounting for age differences in the populations, the gap between migrants and UK-born people with higher education qualifications narrows, but only by about a third.
India is the country with the highest migrant population in England and Wales – and 50.9% hold a higher education qualification.

There were 824,983 conceptions for women of all ages in England and Wales in 2021.
At the time of the #COVID19 pandemic when lockdowns and restrictions may have affected behaviours, this is the first increase seen in the last six years.
Women aged 30 to 34 years had the highest number and conception rate for the fifth year in a row.
This age group also had the lowest percentage of conceptions leading to abortion.
The latest data suggests that for the first time since records began, women outside of marriage or civil partnership have a higher conception rate than those within marriage or civil partnership.
This may be an effect of the differences in population estimates used.
