You asked
I am reaching out to enquire whether the government holds any datasets or reports that detail emigration patterns of highly skilled individuals from the UK, categorised by occupation or skill level.
We said
Thank you for your freedom of information request.
Estimates of people who have emigrated from the UK can be found by downloading the dataset in Figure 6 of this link: Long-term international migration, provisional: year ending June 2024 Paragraph 3 provides long-term emigration information. We do not collect any characteristics of those emigrating.
The Home Office may be able to assist you further. Please see their website for more information and contact details.
