Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 6 – Approximately 281 million international migrants make up 3.6% of the global population. The US remains the top destination, driven by economic opportunities, while Russia and Ukraine have dropped in rankings due to the 2022 invasion.

Since 1995, Saudi Arabia and the UAE have seen rising immigration due to diversified economies. Conflicts in Syria, Yemen, Sudan, and other nations have displaced millions, while climate disasters in countries like Pakistan, India, and Brazil displaced 117 million people globally by the end of 2022.

Migration also boosts the global economy, with remittances totaling USD831 billion in 2022.
