Figure 1: Our draft framework for transforming population and
migration statistics

As shown in Figure 1, we have also developed a new draft framework that puts
users at the heart of what we do and describes the important questions we
need to answer to meet their needs: What concepts do we need to measure
and what definitions support these? What data can we use to answer users’
questions? What methods can we use to analyse administrative data? What
outputs do we need to produce? The published report is structured around this
framework and is summarised in this paper.

2. Methodology
As set out in our framework, once we have identified the right data
sources to deliver a future administrative-data based system, we need to
develop the right methods for using them to measure what users need. Our
aim is to integrate administrative data sources in a way that creates a flexible
system for producing the range of insights our users need – aligned with
ONS principles for how we manage and secure data for public benefit. This
is both in terms of putting administrative data at the core of our official
statistics for population and migration in future, but also strengthening of
the evidence base on important areas such as the impact of international
migration on society and the economy.
