Asylum Applications 1980-01
The bar chart shows the dramatic increase in refugees applying to the UK. Although a slight decrease was experienced in 2001 the amount of applications has gone up almost nine fold since the 1980s. It also shows us that although the UK is granting more and more asylum seekers refugee status well over half are still being rejected.

The age break down of the asylum seekers above shows that most asylum seekers to the UK are under 30. This is probably due to the fact that older asylum seekers are less able to travel to the UK perhaps due to the length of the journey or their preference to harbour in a neighbouring country due to the fact it would be easier for them to adapt.
