Dataset guide · United Nations DESA Population Division
Read with context.
The 2024 edition covers 233 countries and areas. Select origin, destination and year explicitly; document the underlying definition and whether estimates were revised or extrapolated.
Before using a figure in advocacy, record the exact table or measure, geography, observation period, population, denominator and uncertainty. This page is a research guide; it does not claim that raw data have been imported or independently analyzed.
Only a subset of countries received a full trend reassessment. Migrant stock is not migration during a year, racial identity or a complete count of the African diaspora.
