Does Your Country Have More Immigrants Or Emigrants?

The
map
above
shows
whether
your
country
has
more
immigrants
(people
born
abroad
who
live
there
now)
or
emigrants
(people
born
in
the
country
but
now
living
in
another
one).

The
data
is
for
2024
and
comes
from
the

United
Nations
International
Migrant
Stock
report.

On
the
surface
the
map
is
what
you’d
expect,
North
America,
Australia,
Western
Europe
and
the
Gulf
States
have
more
immigrants
than
emigrants.

However,
there
some
surprising
things.

For
example,
North
Korea
has
more
immigrants
than
emigrants,
while
the
much
richer
South
Korea
is
the
opposite.
Although
it
should
be
noted
that
the
South
Korea’s
absolute
numbers
of
each
are
much
larger
than
the
North.

Also,
Portugal
is
the
lone
exception
in
Western
Europe
to
have
more
emigrants
than
immigrants.
