The pie charts show the main reasons for migration to and from the UK in 2007.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The given two pie charts demonstrate the statistic of the reasons for the emigration and immigration from and to the UK in the year 2007. Overall, according to these two charts, it can be fairly seen that there are six main causes in total and the highest rate of migration was due to definite job in both pie charts.

At the first glance, we notice that the reason 'definite job' for immigration to the UK was 30 percent and for the same reason the emigration was 29 percent which were very close proportions. The second largest main cause of immigration was 'formal study' with 26%, which was almost more than a quarter. However, engrossingly, the rate of this reason for emigration was only a small value with 4%. As for the proportions of other causes; namely, 'accompany/join', 'looking for work', 'other' and 'no reason stated', it is observed that they all had noticeably lower percentages.

In contrast, if the second pie chart is considered in detail, it is seen that emigration with 'no reason stated' was in minority. Its proportion also rose although it was not significant. Similarly, the rate of 'looking for work' was also one in ten (12%) in the immigration chart and changed to 22% in the emigration chart. The presented percentage of 'other' reasons varied from 11% in the immigration chart to 14% in the emigration chart. Finally, there was only a very small percentage alteration in the 'accompany/join' migration reason while these ratios were less than a fifth (15%) in the immigration and 13% in the emigration charts.
