🇧🇩Bangladesh migration (2025)

Bangladesh's net migration is -402.1K as of 2025 — immigrants minus emigrants in a year — a net figure that can hide large flows in both directions. That places Bangladesh 215 of 217 countries with recent data. The world figure for the same period is 0. In 1960 the figure was 13.6K — down 3,061% since then. Net migration can be near zero while both inflows and outflows are large. Foreign-born stock is a different series (people already present). Asylum, returns, and border detections — where shown — are Western or route-level layers, not a substitute for the national net figure.
