  • Refugees: A small and relatively stable proportion of world migration

    As so often with migration, the reality is more nuanced. In fact, the total number of refugees as a share of all migrants in the world is rather limited, and has remained remarkably stable if we look at long term trends. According to official figures compiled by the UNHCR there are currently about 16.1 million refugees under their mandate. This figure would rise to 21.1 million if we include Palestinian refugees, who do not fall under UNHCR’s mandate.

    This is less than 0.3 percent of the total world population (7.4 billion people), and about 10 per cent of the total estimated number of international migrants, which currently hovers around 220-230 million (excluding refugees). While the international migrant population counted as a percentage of the world population has remained remarkably stable on levels of around 3 percent of the world population since 1960, refugee numbers have shown more fluctuations, mainly depending on the level of conflict in origin areas.

    • Global Migration Trends 2015 Factsheet

      In 2015, the number of international migrants worldwide – people residing in a country other than their country of birth – was the highest ever recorded, having reached 244 million (from 232 million in 2013). As a share of the world population, however, international migration has remained fairly constant over the past decades, at around #3% . While female migrants constitute only 48% of the international migrant stock worldwide, and 42% in Asia, women make up the majority of international migrants in Europe (52.4%) and North America (51.2%).

    • –-> @seenthis #seenthis_bug : comment puis-je mettre 3% comme tag ? C’est un billet que je veux retrouver, car ce 3% est un peu un chiffre « magique » dont j’ai besoin pour certains textes... mais comment le retrouver si les % ne peuvent pas être utilisés dans les tags ?
      #3_pour_cent c’est peut-être une alternative, mais... j’espère me rappeler de l’avoir écrit comme cela !
      Si jamais il y a un moyen plus efficace, je suis preneuse...

    About Us
    “Data are the lifeblood of decision-making and the raw material for accountability”
    – (UN Data Revolution Group, 2014)

    In response to growing calls for better data on migration, and better use and presentation of migration data, IOM has created a Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC).

    As a global hub for data and statistics on migration, GMDAC aims to conduct and coordinate research and data projects.

    Located in the heart of Berlin, Germany, the centre is well-positioned to provide authoritative and timely analysis of data on global migration issues.

    “Missing Migrants Project tracks deaths of migrants and those who have gone missing along migratory routes worldwide. The research behind this project began with the October 2013 tragedies, when at least 368 migrants died in two shipwrecks near the Italian island of Lampedusa. Since then, Missing Migrants Project has developed into an important hub and advocacy source of information that media, researchers, and the general public access for the latest information.

    Missing Migrants Project uses statistical data from governments and sources other agencies, as well as NGOs and media.

    Besides counting fatalities, Missing Migrants Project is part of a broader effort to engage communities around the world. Following shipwrecks, IOM offices worldwide often receive calls and emails from family members seeking news about their missing relatives, many of whom are feared dead. IOM works with all channels available, partners, authorities, search and rescue and even using social media when appropriate, in order to assist those who come to us in search of missing loved ones.

    With a count surpassing 40,000 deaths since 2000, IOM calls on all the world’s governments to address what it describes as “an epidemic of crime and abuse.”"
