the difference between the number of births and deaths — measures the contribution of vital events to the dynamics of the population. [...] For example, the revised estimates for the period between the 2001 and 2011 censuses resulted in an adjustment of 497,500 (0.8%), primarily due to the underestimation of net migration in the previous series. [...] The comparison between the principal projection and the zero net migration variant allows one to assess the overall impact of net migration on population trends—i.e. [...] the number of individuals who will migrate to the UK minus the number of those who will leave the country); and the indirect contribution of post-2021 net migration, i.e. [...] In the 1994-based principal projection, for example, net migration was assumed to return to zero in the long term, reflecting the levels of net migration observed during the 1980s and early 1990s.
