Community Learning and Development (CLD) - Statistics Brief
This statistics brief presents data relevant to CLD in Scotland. While the Scottish Government does not collect or publish data on participation in, and the impact of, CLD, several sources provide information on the communities CLD is trying to reach.
Migration & People Seeking Asylum
Since the 2011 census there were around 585,000 births and 634,800 deaths registered in Scotland.
Without migration, the population would have decreased by around 49,800. But the population has grown because more people moved to Scotland than moved out.
