Yes, but the bulk of those capable (well-qualified) young families have been from the newer EU (accession) states using their newly-gained freedom to live and work in a handful of EU states that have placed no restrictions on them (UK, Ireland, Sweden; other countries have since lifted their restrictions or planning to do so). When the migration was at its highest a couple of years ago, UK did provide good opportunities, booming economy and strong currency compared to their zloty etc. But there has been a dramatic change - economy in recession, huge unemployment and collapse of currency. Many Poles, Estonians, Lativians, Lithuanians etc who have got on the bandwagon have moved back or are planning to do so, as their native countries now offer better prospect and pay, and still lower cost of living. Meanwhile, young Brits with ability and drive have been leaving UK in droves in search of better jobs, work-life balance and safer place to bring up their family, esp Australia, New Zealand and Canada. The recent steady rise in UK population is due largely to mass migration from accession states, family members joining those already settled here, and a steady flow of non-EU migrants from the Third World, some in UK illegally (up to a million by latest estimate). Plus higher birth rate among newer arrivals and longer life expectancy.
