1 The Complexity of International Migration Reviewed Hania Zlotnik Population Division Department of Economic and Social Affairs United Nations 1

2 SOME CAUSES OF MIGRATION S COMPLEXITY Who is a migrant? Move from one country to another Minimum time of stay in the new country Purpose of stay 2

3 MIGRATION FLOWS TO THE NETHERLANDS Thousands All inflows All outflows 3

4 INFLOWS AND OUTFLOWS CAN BE DECOMPOSED Inflows: Citizens (Return migration) Foreigners (Immigration) Outflows: Citizens (Emigration) Foreigners (Return migration) 4

5 MIGRATION FLOWS TO THE NETHERLANDS Thousands Inflow citizens Outflow citizens 5

6 MIGRATION FLOWS TO THE NETHERLANDS Thousands Inflow foreigners Outflow foreigners 6

7 THE ORIGIN OF FOREIGNERS Origins vary: MATTERS Level of development Cultural background Historical ties Income level 7

8 MIGRATION OUTFLOWS FROM THE NETHERLANDS Thousands Outflows, developing Outflows, developed 8

9 MIGRANT STOCK Migrant stock: all foreign-born persons in a country More widely available data than on migrant flows It is not strictly comparable with data on flows, but indicates cumulative impact of migration 9

10 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Worldwide: 191 million in 2005 Of which In developed countries: 115 million In developing countries: 75 million Consequently: 60 per cent are in developed countries 10

11 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Worldwide: 191 million in 2005 Of which In high-income income developed: 91 million In high-income income developing: 21 million Consequently: 59 per cent are in high-income income countries 11

12 CONCENTRATION OF MIGRANTS In 2005, 75 % of all migrants live in 28 countries, of which: 11 high-income income developed countries 6 high-income income developing countries 2 upper middle-income income countries 4 lower middle-income income countries 4 low-income countries 12

13 CONCENTRATION OF MIGRANTS 20 % live in the United States 6 % live in the Russian Federation 5 % in the Ukraine 4 % in Germany 3 % in each: France, Saudi Arabia, Canada, India, United Kingdom 21% live in the European Union 13

14 CONCENTRATION OF MIGRANTS 20 % live in the United States 21% live in the European Union 7 % live in the GCC countries 14

15 Number of international migrants,

16 ASYMMETRIC GROWTH BY INCOME GROUP High, developed High, developing Upper-middle Lower-middle Low income 16

17 CONCENTRATION OF GROWTH Between 1990 and 2005, 75 % of the growth in the number of migrants occurred in 17 countries The United States gained 15 million Germany and Spain gained 4 million each GCC gained 4 million 17

18 Change in the number of international migrants,

19 CHANGE IN THE MIGRANT SHARE OF THE POPULATION BY INCOME GROUP High, developed 10 High, developing 5 Upper-middle 4 Lower-middle Low income 19

20 Number of migrants as percentage of the total population,

21 MIGRANTS BY ORIGIN Estimates of the migrant stock are generally NOT available by origin New data permit a rough estimation of the proportions originating in different groups of countries 21

22 THE NUMBER OF INTERNATIONAL MIGRANTS IS ALMOST EQUALLY DIVIDED INTO THREE TYPES (Cumulated migrant stock -- Millions of persons) North-South North-North South-South South-North 61 22

23 MIGRANTS HAVE OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPORTANCE Sex Age Educational attainment 23

24 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Worldwide: 191 million in 2005 Of which Female migrants: 95 million Male migrants: 96 million Consequently: 49.6 per cent are female 24

25 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Developed countries: 115 million Of which Female migrants: 60 million Male migrants: 55 million Consequently: 52.2 per cent are female 25

26 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Developing countries: 75 million Of which Female migrants: 34 million Male migrants: 41 million Consequently: 45.5 per cent are female 26

27 NUMBER OF MIGRANTS Developing countries: 75 million Of which Female migrants: 34 million Male migrants: 41 million Consequently: 45.5 per cent are female 27

28 CHANGE IN NUMBER OF FEMALE MIGRANTS BY INCOME GROUP High, developed High, developing Upper-middle Lower-middle Low income 28

29 CHANGE IN PERCENTAGE OF FEMALE MIGRANTS BY INCOME GROUP High, developed High, developing Upper-middle Lower-middle Low income

30 NUMBER OF FEMALE MIGRANTS:

31 MIGRANTS BY EDUCATION Focus on the highly-educated who are equated with the highly-skilled Educational attainment is correlated with age: look at a sub-group of migrants (those aged 25 or over) 31

32 MIGRANTS WITH TERTIARY EDUCATION AS PERCENTAGE OF THE INCREASE IN ALL MIGRANTS AGED 25 OR OVER, OCDE USA Canada EU-15 UK France Germany Australia 32

33 TO DISENTANGLE THE COMPLEXITY OF MIGRATION Need more data Need more data on flows, even if not perfectly comparable among countries Need data on stocks about the foreign-born Need data on stocks classified by several characteristics: Sex Age Educational attainment Occupation 33

34 NEED TO UNDERSTAND RETURN Returns are more common than one would think There is a dearth of useful information on return migration or circulation What makes return successful? Is it related to length of stay abroad? 34
