Recently, the United Nations Migration Agency IOM released the latest issue of the "World Migration Report 2022".
This is the 11th report in the series. It aims to authoritatively display and interpret immigration and mobility around the world, and provide a reference for investors to choose countries for immigration and settlement.
According to the report, as of 2020, the total number of immigrants worldwide has reached 281 million, accounting for 3.6% of the global population, equivalent to one immigrant for every 30 people.
*During the epidemic, the immigrant population did not decrease but increased*
An interesting point is that compared with the total number of immigrants in 2019 of 272 million, even in 2020, when the global population flow slowed down due to the impact of the epidemic, the number of immigrants still increased by 9 million. Among them, the working population accounts for 62% of the total number of immigrants. In other words, the main group of immigrants are not the rich as everyone imagines, but mostly "ordinary workers." According to the immigration report, this is already the result of the impact of the epidemic. Without the impact of the epidemic, it is estimated that the total number of immigrants in 2020 will reach approximately 283 million.
*The United States ranks first, Australia ranks ninth*
So where have they gone to the 281 million immigrant population in the world?
The report shows that from a regional perspective:
Europe: has 87 million international immigrants
Asia: Has 86 million international immigrants
North America: 59 million international immigrants
Among them, the United States is still the largest immigrant inflow country, with more than 51 million people, far ahead of other countries. The people who most like to immigrate to the United States are Mexicans, Chinese and Indians.
Germany is the second largest immigrant inflow country, with nearly 16 million people, of which Poland and Turks like Germany very much. The UK ranks fifth, Canada eighth and Australia ninth. In other words, Europe and North America are still the gathering places for immigrants, and the traditional immigrant countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom continue to be popular.
European countries with simple identity applications and low investment thresholds are also emerging as popular immigration destinations!
Except for the United Arab Emirates, the rest are developed countries. Even though the United Arab Emirates is not a developed country, it is also a high-income and wealthy country. Therefore, it is still in line with the trend of flows from developing countries to developed countries. Therefore, it can also be inferred to determine whether a country is a developed country. Immigration is an important soft indicator.
The 2022 World Immigration Report was released. The number of Chinese immigrants exceeds 10 million, and the United States is the most popular. It is said that Mexicans hate the United States, but the wealthy United States attracts Mexicans like a magnet .
The third country with the surprising number of immigrants is Saudi Arabia , with a cumulative number of more than 12 million people. The favorites are India and Indonesia . Indians not only have a soft spot for Saudi Arabia, but also have a good impression of the United Arab Emirates. Since oil-producing countries in the Middle East are generally wealthy, many Indians come to work. As for Indonesia, the same beliefs as Saudi Arabia also make many Indonesians choose to work in Saudi Arabia.
Russia ranks fourth in terms of the number of immigrants it welcomes. It is true that Russia is a country with a large population outflow and a large population inflow.
The only difference is that many Russian expatriates are elites, and most of the inflows are ordinary workers from the former Soviet Union countries. The 2022 World Migration Report was released, and the number of Chinese immigrants exceeded 10 million.
Russia, the most popular country in the United States, also attracts immigrants from Central Asian countries.
The largest number of people flowing into Russia are Ukrainians and Kazakhstan . It is worth mentioning that the number of Ukrainians flowing into Russia is as many as 3.5 million, and the number of Russians flowing into Ukraine is even higher. The current situation between the two countries, which should have been close to each other, is deplorable.

*15 million people! India has become the country with the largest number of immigrants*
. The report shows that India has become the country with the largest number of immigrants, with a total of more than 15 million people.
Mexico ranks second, followed by Russia and China. Syria occupies the fifth place with about 8 million immigrants, the sixth place is Bangladesh from South Asia, and the seventh place is Pakistan also from South Asia.
The eighth place is Ukraine, which is in the midst of war. Soon data from the United Nations show that since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war, Ukraine has produced a total of 12 million refugees, of which more than 5 million have fled overseas.

Most of the Ukrainians who fled overseas were women and children, and most of the adult men stayed to defend them. nation. Among them, the largest number of Ukrainians went to Poland and Romania. In addition to going west, some Ukrainians went to Russia under the escort of the Russian army.
In addition to Ukraine, Syria has also caused a large exodus of citizens due to the civil war. A typical case is that nearly half of the 8 million people lost in Syria are in neighboring Türkiye .
Turkish President Erdogan, who is well aware of Europe's pain points, often threatens EU by allowing Syrian refugees to freely travel to Europe. Millions of Syrian refugees have become a card used by Turks to disgust Europe.
Erdogan often threatens the EU by opening up Syrian refugees.
As for the three South Asian countries, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, there is no other reason for immigration. They are too poor!
Data in 2021 shows that among the three countries, Bangladesh has the highest per capita GDP of only 2,500 US dollars, and India is also around 1,900 US dollars. It has always been incompatible with India. Pakistan is not as good as India with only $1,500.
There is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in India, and a large number of highly educated people have immigrated to European and American countries. Among the top ten countries with the number of immigrants, Mexico, Russia, and China are the only three countries with per capita GDP exceeding US$10,000.
Mexico borders the United States, so more than 95% of Mexicans choose to go to the United States, whether through legal procedures or illegal immigration.
After the disintegration of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War , Russians were able to enter and leave the country freely, so a large number of Russian people went abroad. In just thirty years, more than 11 million people emigrated from Russia.
Russians who feel powerless after the Russo-Ukrainian War are accelerating their exodus. There is currently no exact number, but it is generally believed that the number of people who chose to leave Russia after the Russo-Ukrainian War is already around 300,000.
