過去簡單式

New figures show that net migration to the uk, that's the difference between the number of people arriving then leaving the country, dropped sharply to 204,000 in the year to June.

最新數據顯示，英國的淨遷徙（也就是入境人數與出境人數的差額）在截至六月的年度裡，顯著下降至二十萬四千人。

That's a significant drop from almost 650,000 in the year to June 2024 and a drop of nearly 80% from the peak in 2023.

這比截至二零二四年六月的一年內的近六十五萬人，以及比二零二三年的高峰期下降了近百分之八十。

Well, with me now is the BBC's head of statistics, Robert Cuff.

好的，現在和我們在一起的是BBC的統計主管Robert Cuff。

Robert, good to have you with us to take us through all of these figures.

Robert，很高興你能來為我們講解這些數據。

Fewer people are coming to the UK to work and to study from outside the eu and they're not bringing as many of their family with them.

越來越少非歐盟人士來英國工作和讀書，他們也沒有帶來那麼多的家人。

It's been a roller coaster ride in the migration numbers over the last two years.

過去兩年的遷徙數字真是跌宕起伏。

They were running at about 240,000 people, adding about that many people to the population of the UK every year.

每年大約有二十四萬人，為英國人口增加了這麼多人。

Before the pandemic and then after the government opened up programs to bring in people to work in health and social care and gave universities a target to bring in about 600,000 students, we saw this rapid rise up to nearly a million people in about two years.

在疫情前，政府開放了計畫引進醫療及社會照護工作者，並設定大學招收約六十萬名學生的目標，我們看到這數字在約兩年內快速上升到近百萬人。

And since then it's come back down roughly to pre pandemic levels again.

從那之後，數字又大致回落到疫情前水準。

So we are seeing that kind of right due to the changes in the number of people coming and then the changes in the policy that happened to make it harder for them to come.

所以我們看到這種情況，是因為來的人數改變，以及政策的改變讓他們來英國變得比較困難。

The Home Secretary, Shabana Mahmoud, said a little earlier that net migration had fallen by more than two thirds under this government, which of course has only been in power for, well, a little over a year, not that long.

內政大臣 Shabana Mahmoud 稍早表示，在本屆政府執政下，淨遷徙下降了三分之二以上，而這屆政府執政時間其實才一年多，不算長。

It's happened while they're in power, but

it reflects decisions that were taken before they came to power, both the rise and the fall, because as I said, it was Boris Johnson's government that made, that made it easier for some people to come to the UK to work or to study.

這反映了他們上任前就做出的決定，包括上升和下降，因為正如我說的，是 Boris Johnson 政府讓一些人更容易來英國工作或讀書。

But they also, under Rishi Sunak, announced measures to make it harder for people to bring their families with them when they came to study or, or when they came to work in, under the health and care visas to work in the nhs.

但他們也在 Rishi Sunak 領導下宣佈了措施，讓來讀書或透過健康照護簽證來 NHS 工作的人，在帶家人方面變得更困難。

And so those falls, they started before Labour came to power and they've continued on while Labour on power.

是以，這些下降在工黨上臺前就開始了，並在工黨執政期間持續著。

Of course, Shibana Mahmood's predecessor, Yvette Cooper, announced some reforms to the migration system.

當然，Shibana Mahmood 的前任 Yvette Cooper 宣佈了一些移民系統的改革。

So they are going to make further changes, but

it's probably too early to see the effects of those changes.

現在大概還太早看到這些變動的效果。

In the figures now, numbers going in the opposite direction are those on asylum.

在目前的數據中，朝相反方向的數字是尋求庇護者。

The number of people claiming asylum is up, the number of people being housed in hotels is up.

申請庇護的人數增加，住在旅館的人數也增加。

Well, these are probably slightly more worrying numbers for the Home Secretary, because We've seen about 111,000 people claim asylum in the UK in the last year.

嗯，這些數字對內政大臣來說可能稍微令人擔心一些，因為我們看到在過去一年裡，大約有 111,000 人在英國申請庇護。

Up again on June, up again on the figure before Labour came to power.

比六月時的數字高，也比工黨上臺前的數字高。

And the number of people who are being put up in hotels while awaiting their asylum claims, that's at 36,000.

而那些在等待庇護申請期間被安排住在旅館的人數，有 36,000 人。

That's wobbled around a little bit in the last year.

過去一年這個數字有點起伏不定。

So it's hard to kind of tell just from the latest rise.

所以光看最近的上升，很難說得準。

You really need to look under the figures at what's driving the demand for hotel accommodation to get a sense of whether they're going to meet their pledge to end the use of hotels to house asylum seekers by the end of Parliament.

你得仔細看看這些數據背後的細節，瞭解是什麼在推動旅館住宿的需求，才能判斷他們能否兌現國會任期結束前，結束使用旅館安置尋求庇護者承諾。

And the story there is it's kind of mixed because there are fewer people waiting for decisions.

而這其中的情況有點複雜，因為等待決定的尋求庇護者變少了。

That's down by about a third since Labour came to power.

自從工黨上臺以來，人數減少了約三分之一。

They're processing people faster, they're making more decisions more quickly.

他們處理申請的速度加快了，也更快速地做出更多決定。

But you can't empty the bath if the taps are flowing in faster than they've ever flown.

但如果水龍頭開得比以往任何時候都大，你就無法把浴缸裡的水排光。

And if you're seeing a record number of people claiming asylum, well, then it's very hard to end that demand.

如果你看到創紀錄的尋求庇護人數，那麼要減少這種需求就會非常困難。

That means you have to put people up in hotels.

這意味著你必須要有人住旅館。

And then coming back to the drop in migration, Robert, is that decrease sustainable over the longer term?

那麼，關於遷徙人數的下降，Robert，這種減少在長期來看是可持續的嗎？

Because just as there is with asylum on net migration, there is a huge amount of political pressure, not just for this government, but

因為就像尋求庇護一樣，在淨遷徙方面，存在著巨大的政治壓力，不只是對現任政府，

The falls that we've seen, there's nothing suggesting in the figures that those are going to suddenly bounce back, that we're going to go back up to a level of a million people coming in a year.

我們看到的這些下降，數據上沒有任何跡象顯示它們會突然反彈，我們不會回到一年一百萬人遷入的水準。

Say more people are needed with the right skills.

說需要更多具備適當技能的人。

So, yes, because people were coming to work in and people were coming to study.

所以，是的，因為人們是來工作和來讀書的。

And so these will cause discussions for people working in universities who are depending on those fees or employers.

是以，這些將會引起大學裡那些依賴學費的人們，或是僱主們的討論。

But whether they go down any further, whether these falls will continue, is a much harder one to call because we're at the level that migration was at pretty steadily before the pandemic.

但它們是否會進一步下降，這些下降是否會持續，就比較難說了，因為我們現在的水準，差不多就是疫情前遷徙穩定時的水準。

So that's not the tens of thousands that David Cameron spoke about in 2010, it's the hundreds of thousands that they were for about 10 years.

所以這不是大衛·卡麥隆在2010年說的幾萬人，而是他們持續了約十年的幾十萬人。

Hard to believe right now that we're going to see Mega Falls from that point.

現在很難相信我們會看到那樣的大幅下跌。

Okay, Robert, thank you very much, Robert Cuff, for taking us through those pictures there.

好的，Robert，非常感謝你，Robert Cuff，為我們講解這些數據。
