Note: The survey includes journalists working in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but the 2021 Census data used do not. To generate this comparative table, respondents in the survey who classified themselves as UK foreign correspondents were removed, because foreign correspondents living outside the UK may have not been counted in the 2021 Census. The Census data presented here correspond to biological sex at birth whereas this survey asked respondents about their ‘gender’.
