A report examined the characteristics of 'return migrants' to Scotland – those born in Scotland who had left and returned in the period 1991-2001: these migrants typically moved at an early stage in their working lives, and were slightly more likely to be in work than the general Scottish population. The report also examined the characteristics of long-term in-migrants to Scotland – people who had been born elsewhere in the United Kingdom or overseas, but who had lived in Scotland continuously since 1991 or earlier: these migrants had economic activity rates, qualification levels, and socio-economic occupational classifications that generally compared favourably with those of the Scottish population as a whole.
