Patterns of migration: Example:

Within the EU Since the EU was formed, it is easier to migrate between countries. Within the EU migrants may come: from different countries in the EU from outside of the EU In 2004 Poland, and seven other Eastern European countries joined the EU. This increased

migration into the UK. The largest group of migrants were from Poland.

Migration from outside the EU Immigrants after the world wars mainly came from commonwealth countries. Immigration

was encouraged by the government. Many immigrants provided labour for textile factories, transport, health or steelworks. The UK tightened migration controls in the 1970s.
