    Fascinating to see that MENA is a net positive on migration. There's often a lot of rhetoric around MENA migration to Europe and North America, but you hear much less about migration to MENA countries.

    Further down the page, there's a link to an article from a couple of years ago, titled "Migration isn’t increasing".So which is it?

    As the article points out. The researcher’s site has an exploratory tool to view the data [1].[1] https://www.socsc.hku.hk/rhps/global-migration/

    Why has , recently, Pakistan been seen added more and more to a new category "MENAP" and separate from South Asia (i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh) ?These classifications should be geographic and could even racial, but it seems this new classification (MENAP) seems more "religious"

    Interesting how South America, with several countries made up majorly of immigrants, receives almost no new migrants now.Meanwhile the middle-east population is fleeing and being replaced with asians?

    Only 1.7m people left North America in 2023 (4.4m arrivals). Would be interesting to compare to figures from 2025.

    People who believe they are financially secure may move from regions which are considered “wealthy” to regions which are seen to be “poorer” (and cheaper). This outflow can influence this data.https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/american-...

    Can someone explain the graphic?
  • nomorehere
    That’s true, but very few countries in the world are willing to accept people as readily as they used to. Migration has become much more difficult since 2022, and I can say that as a migrant myself.

    Where are the maps?

    *data doesn't go back beyond 2000, safe to ignore

    Here's the actual graph/data in question. The article is a dense academic snooooooozefest:https://www.socsc.hku.hk/rhps/global-migration/Ffs, trying to click on a country and the globe keeps rotating, hahah. When i click on nations, it doesn't tell me the numbers either, there's just these blobby lines :/Not very usable.
