Background
• English subnational population projections project 25 years into the future
• Use trend data for each component to project current trends 25 years into future
• Cohort component method– Starting Population – mid-year population estimates 2006– Remove the armed forces (static population)– Add births– Subtract deaths– Adjust for internal migration– Add net international migration– Add armed forces back in– This process is then repeated to give a 25-year projection

Background
• Developing a new production system for the English subnational population projections provided an opportunity to:
• Review & change elements of the methodology• Build an efficient system with up-to-date software, which
has the ability to cope with methodology changes.
• Focus on internal migration methodology• Is using the Rogers curve still appropriate for
the 2008-based English subnational projections?

Internal Migration
• Capture moves within England at the local authority level (broken down by age & sex)
• Data source: Patient Register data (PR)• Calculate the probability of moving out of a
local authority (LA):
number of people moving out of an LA
The total number of people living in an LA

Internal Migration
• 5 trend years of data (2002-2006)• Calculate the out-migration probabilities for
each of the years individually and then take a five-year average
• a = Local Authority
• g = Sex
• i = Age
• T = First year of the projection
• j = Year
• MOUT(a,g,i,T-j)= Moves out of a local authority
• P(a, g, i, T-1)= estimated population in year 1
• YR(a, g, i) = raw probability of migrating from a

Out-migration Probabilities
• Out-migration Probabilities for Males in Leicester
![Page 8: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Out-migration Probabilities
• Out-migration Probabilities of Females in Gloucester
![Page 9: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Rogers Curve
• This out-migration profile was first described by Andrei Rogers in 1981
• The out-migration profile shows:• The pre-labour force curve• The labour-force peak• The post-retirement curve
• Different models of out-migration • The Rogers curve with varying numbers of
parameters describes four different models of out-migration
![Page 10: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
The Four Models of Out-migration
![Page 11: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Current Methodology
• We apply a 13-parameter curve to the raw out-migration probabilities:
• The pre-labour force curve• The labour force peak• The retirement peak• The post-retirement peak
• Origins of using the Rogers curve• Applied originally to survey data• The model produced more reliable out-migration
probabilities than the survey data• The out-migration profiles of the 1990s were modelled
well by the Rogers curve
![Page 12: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Methodology Review: Rogers Curve
• The Rogers curve does not model the data well in these areas
• A ‘student peak’ appears at age 18/19• Applying the Rogers curve to the data means we are
not projecting on current trends• Improving Migration Statistics branch making
improvements to the PR data – using Higher Education Statistics Authority (HESA) data to capture more student moves. Use of the Rogers curve would undo the effects of the additional HESA data
• What impact does removing the Rogers curve have on the projection?
![Page 15: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Investigation
• In theory the current Rogers curve is no longer suitable for our application
• What effect would its removal have on the population projections?
![Page 16: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Areas with out-migration student peaks
• What would we expect?
• Lower net migration when raw out-migration probabilities are used compared to when the Rogers curve is applied?
• Lower proportion of young adults in standardised age-profile?

Areas with similar out-migration probabilities
• What happens in areas where the raw out-migration probabilities are similar to the Rogers curve probabilities?
• Somewhat dependant on the area. Does the area typically draw in young adults?
![Page 24: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Origin-Destination Matrix
• Out-migration probabilities define how many people leave an area
• These migrants need a destination• Origin-Destination matrix is a set of
conditional probabilities giving the probability of someone moving to a destination dependant on that person leaving a given origin
• Generated using the same PRDS data• No models used
![Page 25: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Areas with similar out-migration probabilities
• Student area = significantly higher numbers of young adult in-migrants
• Non student area = modest increase in young adult in-migrants

What has this initial exploration shown us?
• Differences between projections using the two sets of probabilities are predictable
• Raw out-migration probabilities produce results that follow the observed trend data
![Page 39: Changes to Internal Migration methodology for English Subnational Population Projections](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/5681499e550346895db6df76/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Conclusions
The use of the Rogers curve in its current form no longer seems appropriate to use in the English SNPPs for several reasons:
• We no longer use sample data (fewer problems establishing firm trends with our data)
• It no longer fits our current trend data• HESA data supply• Using raw out-migration probabilities appears
to improve our projections

Further work
• Further explore differences between use of raw out-migration probabilities and Rogers curve (Come to firmer conclusions)
• Look at the possibility of extending the Rogers curve to include the student peak.
• Look at the possibility of using non-parametric techniques

Further work
• Explore the approach we take in small areas where the raw data doesn’t establish a trend (e.g. City of London and Isles of Scilly)
• Expert Panel (October)• Publication (Spring 2010)
