Bloomberg News recently published data looking at global migration patterns by country. It’s a comprehensive, interactive data visualization tool that illuminates the extraordinary number of people on the move.
The world is on the move as never before. Migrants, defined as people living outside their country of birth whether for work, to follow a family member, study or escape adversity, numbered more than 250 million in 2017. That was 3.4% of the global population, an increase from 2.8% in 2000. Half were living in high-income countries, where they made up 14% of the population, up from 9.6% in 2000.
