Highly Trained Brits live and working overseas, research shows.
1 in 10 Professional Britons live overseas, based on new research, as emigrants enjoy better salary and better health.
The study by University College London also shows countless migrants with low levels of numeracy have came into the UK, although incomers are in general much more likely to possess a degree compared to native Britons.
Nearly 4.7 million British people are living overseas, largely to Australia, the US and Canada, the research said.
In a report, issued today, head researcher Dr John Jerrim of the UCL Institute of Education stated "nearly one in 10 Highly Skilled British citizens currently lives abroad".
Emigrants were getting a lot more money and described superior health than so-called UK "stayers", but were working for much longer hours.
Britons working in North America and Australia got 4,000 US dollars each month in comparison with roughly the same as 3,200 usd in the United Kingdom, although they worked around Fifty-five hours when compared with Forty-four for stayers.
And 86% working in North America reported highly good or excellent health, in comparison with around 61% of stayers.
"Very little had been known about the employment, earnings or quality of life of UK emigrants compared to the people who remain in this country," Dr Jerrim claimed.
"In general, even though there are some key variations in regards to career paths and income, they're perhaps less pronounced as you may expect. It appears that, although many individuals move in pursuit of a much better life overseas, this may not at all times be achieved."
The analysis of United kingdom emigrants, immigrants and "stayers" suggested 684,000 highly-numerate Brits left the country during 1964 and 2011, to be replaced by an almost similar number of immigrants with solid numeracy skills.
But about 2.4 million people with poor number skills had came into the country, comprising 1 in 4 working-age UK innumerate adults.
"Despite the fact that immigration from south Asia has added many highly numerate folks to our labour force, immigration from the same place and Africa has added 6 times more people with lower numeracy skills to the UK compared to those with higher numeracy skills," Dr Jerrim reported.
"Immigrants account for 1 in 4 of the 9.6 million working age adults residing in Britain with poor numeracy skills. Immigration has for that reason had its greatest impact upon the bottom end of the numeracy skill distribution; it's generated a significant increase in the supply of low-skilled employees."
Dr Jerrim examined information on Twenty four countries gathered by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). The study focused on 7,628 UK 'stayers', 843 immigrants into the United kingdom and 1,324 emigrants, aged 16-65.
The investigations also proved about 37% of immigrants held a bachelor's degree or higher, when compared with 21% of stayers.
