Mid-year estimates under the resident-population method (from 1996). The age pyramid and the long-run line can drop foreign domestic helpers; the last-year waterfall cannot — those components are for all residents. Net movement of others is already inflow less outflow, not an emigration count. Figures are rounded by C&SD and may not add exactly.
