Net Number of Migrants by Country, 1950-2023
Based on data from the UN Population Division, this tool shows whether countries experience net in-migration or net out-migration. The first chart shows the most recent data—for 2020 to 2023—by default, but other time periods can be selected using the dropdown menu. Click through to the second chart for net migration data for individual countries over time.
Notes
The UN Population Division retroactively updates figures of population change, births, deaths, and net migration. Net international migration represents the movement across the borders of people who change their residence. This estimate includes both in- and out-flows of foreign and native-born populations. The methodology to estimate net numbers of migrants for multiyear intervals varies varies by country. See the UN Population Division notes for details here: http://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/DataSources/.
