Migrants: 250 Million in the Cold

Thanks to Pew Research Centre, UNHCR, UNICEF and  IOM, we now know that the number of international migrants has increased over the past 50 years to nearly 250 million in 2015, from about 79 million in 1960

War and poverty in the Middle East and Africa have forced record numbers to flee their homes, fuelling Europe’s largest refugee and migrant crisis since World War Two.

Some 1.4 million people have headed to Europe in the last two years, triggering disputes between countries over how to handle the influx and boosting support for anti-immigration populists.

In the United States, President-elect Donald Trump, who made immigration a key campaign issue, has promised to build a wall along the Mexican border, deport millions of undocumented immigrants and ban immigration from countries that have been “compromised by terrorism”.

Here are some more  facts on migrants and refugees:

– International migrants – those living in a country that is different from their country or territory of birth – make up 3.3 percent of the world’s population.

– Migrants and refugees often travel in the same way. But economic migrants leave their country to improve the future economic prospects of themselves and their families, whereas refugees are fleeing conflict or persecution.

– At the end of 2015 there were 65.3 million forcibly displaced people. They included 21.3 million refugees, 40.8 million internally displaced and 3.2 million asylum seekers.

– One in every 113 people globally is either an asylum-seeker, internally displaced or a refugee.

– More than 4,700 migrants have died attempting treacherous sea journeys to Europe this year, the deadliest on record.

– Italy has become the top destination  for those heading to Europe by boat, with more than 179,000 arrivals.

– The U.S. has more international migrants than any other country, ahead of Germany (12 mln), Russia (11.6 mln), Saudi Arabia (10.2 mln) and Britain (8.5 mln).

– The U.S.-Mexico migration corridor is one of the most travelled routes in the world. During fiscal year 2016, which ended in September, the number of people detained along the border surpassed 408,000, a 23 percent jump from last year, although it was less than in 2014.

– In 2015, migrants around the world sent nearly $600 billion  back to relatives in their home countries.

– Nine in 10 refugees are hosted in developing regions. Turkey has the largest number with more than 3 million refugees.

– As weather extremes strengthen and sea levels rise, migration experts have warned that forced migration linked to climate pressures is poised to become a problem that could dwarf refugee flows.

– The average number of people displaced by natural disasters, including floods, storms and droughts, has averaged 22.5 million a year since 2008 and is growing.migrants-yu
