NET MIGRATION FROM SCOTLAND MID YEAR TO MID YEAR 1945–55 BY SEX AND AGE Over the years 1945–55, mid year to mid year, the estimated net effect of emigration from Scotland, after allowing for movements of population into Scotland, is as indicated in the following tables. The figures are given according to sex and five-yearly age groups. Net figures are given because the numbers leaving and entering the country include many who are not migrants. The net yearly loss from the middle of the year 1952 to the countries principally involved is given in a separate statement (separate Scottish figures before 1952 are not available). Reasons for emigration are not recorded.
