7.0 | Migration


Scotland's population was at its highest level last year, on 30 June 2015 at 5,373,000. The increase on 2014 was mainly down to migration, with 85,000 people coming to Scotland and 57,000 leaving. There were 55,098 births registered, 2.9 per cent fewer than the year before, and 57,579 deaths, resulting in a net population increase of 25,519.


The current increase in East Renfrewshire’s population has been driven mostly by net in-migration as the numbers of births and deaths are very similar. The 30-44 year olds age group accounted for the largest group of in-migrants. The largest group of out-migrants was the 18-29 year olds.
