What this page measures
- Net Migrationpeople
- Net number of migrants (immigrants minus emigrants) in a year. Source: World Bank Open Data.
- Foreign-born Populationpeople
- International migrant stock — the number of people living in a country who were born in another country (the immigrant / diaspora population). Source: World Bank Open Data.
- Foreign-born Population (% of total)% of population
- International migrant stock as a share of the total population — how large the foreign-born / diaspora population is relative to the country. Source: World Bank Open Data.
- Net migration nets arrivals against departures, so a small figure can hide very large flows in both directions.
- Migration statistics are among the least complete demographic data; definitions and coverage differ by country.
Definitions for every indicator are listed in the glossary, and collection methods in the methodology.
