About
Migration is a multifaceted phenomenon with deep social, economic, and political implications. Net migration, calculated as the difference between the number of people entering and leaving a country, serves as a vital metric for tracking the movement of people across borders. This dataset offers an extensive overview of these figures for countries worldwide. Compiled from national statistical agencies and international organisations such as the United Nations, the data allows for the analysis of migration dynamics, the influence of economic and political factors, and the evaluation of migration policies.
