A processing error was identified which affects international out migration from Wales in the 2020-based national population projections. This affects the age and sex distributions of the international out migration from Wales only. There is minimal impact on the Northern Ireland projections. We will therefore not be changing the projections or issuing a corrected version because of the small magnitude of this error which is within the inherent uncertainty seen around projections and underlying estimates. Further details can be found on the ONS website.
