Net migration

How many more people arrive than leave each year, and how much of each population was born somewhere else.

Data updated

Net flow this year — net migration

Immigrants minus emigrants in a year. Teal countries gained people on net; copper lost them. A small net can hide large flows both ways.

Foreign-born share of the population

Share of residents born in another country. This is a stock (people already there), not this year’s arrivals. For which countries they were born in, see Who lives here.

Foreign-born share of population

Darker = higher share. Gulf states and small high-income hubs often lead.

Citizens leaving and coming home

Net migration mixes foreigners and nationals. For nationals alone — how many emigrated and how many came back each year in the EU and EFTA — see citizens leaving and coming home. For where each country's immigrants were born, see who lives here.

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.
  • Foreign-born stocks are UN DESA estimates interpolated between censuses and registers.

Definitions for every indicator are listed in the glossary, and collection methods in the methodology.
