"The report highlights that international migration remains a driver of human development and economic growth, highlighted by a more than 650 per cent increase in international remittances from 2000 to 2022, rising from USD 128 billion to USD 831 billion. The growth continued despite predictions from many analysts that remittances would decrease substantially because of COVID-19.
...[It also] reveals that while international migration continues to drive human development, challenges persist. With an estimated 281 million international migrants worldwide, the number of displaced individuals due to conflict, violence, disaster, and other reasons has surged to the highest levels in modern-day records, reaching 117 million, underscoring the urgency of addressing displacement crises.
Migration, an intrinsic part of human history, is often overshadowed by sensationalized narratives. However, the reality is far more nuanced than what captures headlines. Most migration is regular, safe, and regionally focused, directly linked to opportunities and livelihoods. Yet, misinformation and politicization have clouded public discourse, necessitating a clear and accurate portrayal of migration dynamics."
Part I of the report provides key data and information on migration around the world, while part II provides "an evidence-based analysis of complex and emerging migration issues." The complete report can be read online or downloaded as a PDF. An interactive page highlights key findings via data visualizations.
More information in the form of factsheets and infographics is provided on the Media Resources page. In addition, several toolkits have been developed that draw on research and analysis presented in the World Migration Reports.
