If gross migration is very high but net migration is only 1000, which conclusion is appropriate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Large inflows and outflows are nearly offsetting each other

Gross migration measures the total size of movement, considering both people entering and people leaving. Net migration measures only the difference between those two flows. Therefore, a high gross figure can coexist with a small net figure when large inflows and outflows are nearly equal.

If many people enter but almost as many leave, the remaining balance may be only 1000. For instance, 101000 arrivals and 100000 departures produce a net migration of 1000, while the total movement is very large. Thus, option A is correct. A net figure of 1000 does not mean that only 1000 people moved or that out-migration was zero.
