Global matrices of bilateral migrant
stocks spanning 1960 2000 are presented, disaggregated by
gender and based primarily on the foreign-born definition of
migrants. More than one thousand census and population
register records are combined to construct decennial
matrices corresponding to the five census rounds between
1960 and 2000. For the first time, a comprehensive picture
of bilateral global migration over the second half of the
20th century emerges. The data reveal that the global
migrant stock increased from 92 million in 1960 to 165
million in 2000. Quantitatively, migration between
developing countries dominates, constituting half of all
international migration in 2000. When the partition of India
and the dissolution of the Soviet Union are accounted for,
migration between developing countries is remarkably stable
over the period. Migration from developing to developed
countries is the fastest growing component of international
migration in both absolute and relative terms. The United
States has remained the most important migrant destination
in the world, home to one fifth of the world s migrants and
the top destination for migrants from some 60 sending
countries. Migration to Western Europe has come largely from
elsewhere in Europe. The oil-rich Persian Gulf countries
emerge as important destinations for migrants from the
Middle East and North Africa and South and Southeast Asia.
Finally, although the global migrant stock is predominantly
male, the proportion of female migrants increased noticeably
between 1960 and 2000. The number of women rose in every
region except South Asia. |
