List of countries by net migration rate


This is a list of countries by net migration rate, the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year, per 1,000 persons.

Method

An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration ; an excess of persons leaving the country as net emigration. The net migration rate indicates the contribution of migration to the overall level of population change. The net migration rate does not distinguish between economic migrants, refugees, and other types of migrants nor does it distinguish between lawful migrants and unlawful migrants.
