Type of data: A (B) indicates that estimates of the migrant stock were based on
the foreign-born population. A (C) indicates that estimates of the migrant stock were
based on the population of foreign citizens. An (R) indicates the countries or areas
where refugees were added to the estimate of international migrants. An (I) indicates
the countries or areas lacking data on the number of international migrants whose
estimates were imputed.
International migrants: The mid-year (1 July) estimate of the number of peo-
ple living in a country or area other than that in which they were born. Where the
number of foreign-born was not available, the estimate refers to the number of people
living in a country other than that of their citizenship.
Percentage international migrants by age: The number of international migrants as a percentage of the total international migrant stock. The data are
shown for three age groups: 0-19; 20-64; and 65 or over.
Percentage female migrants: The number of females as a percentage of the
total international migrant stock. For the percentage female migrants by age, data are
shown for three age groups: 0-19; 20-64; and 65 or over.
International migrants as a percentage of total population: The
number of international migrants as a percentage of the total population of the country where they live. For international migrants as a percentage of total population by
age, data are shown for three age groups: 0-19; 20-64; and 65 or over.
Average annual rate of change: The estimated exponential annual rate of
change of the international migrant stock over the period.
Median age: The age that divides the population in two parts of equal size, that is,
there are as many persons with ages above the median as there are with ages below
the median.

International migration 2013
In 2013, the number of international migrants
worldwide reached 232 million, an increase of
57 million, or 33 per cent, compared to 2000.
Most international migrants reside in the developed regions (59 per cent). Europe hosts the largest number of international migrants (72 million),
followed by Asia (71 million) and Northern America
(53 million).
United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees
(UNHCR) and 4.9 million under the mandate of
the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNWRA). Over
87 per cent of all refugees (13.4 million) had found
asylum in developing countries. Asia hosted the
largest number of refugees (10.0 million), followed
by Africa (3.1 million) and Europe (1.5 million).
About 3.2 per cent of the world population are
international migrants, compared to 2.8 per
cent in 2000. The share of international migrants
in total population varies considerably across development groups and major areas. Thus, international
migrants represent 10.8 per cent of the total population in the developed regions compared to 1.6 per
cent in the developing regions. Oceania (20.7 per
cent), Northern America (14.9 per cent) and Europe
(9.8 per cent) record the highest proportions of
international migrants in total population.
While the North has experienced a higher
absolute increase in the migrant stock since
2000 (32 million) compared to the South (25
million), the South recorded a higher growth
rate. Between 2000 and 2013, the average annual
rate of change of the migrant population in the
developing regions (2.3 per cent) slightly exceeded
that of the developed regions (2.1 per cent). Among
the major areas, Oceania registered the highest
annual growth rate during this period (3.0 per
cent), followed by Asia (2.6 per cent), Latin America
and the Caribbean and Northern America (2.1 per
cent each), Europe (2.0 per cent) and Africa (1.4 per
cent).
By the end of 2012, the world hosted an estimated 15.4 million refugees and persons in
refugee-like situations. Of these, some 10.5 million were under the mandate of the Office of the

In recent years, Asia has witnessed a rapid
increase in the number of male migrants. Since
2000, the annual increase in the number of male
migrants in Asia (3.1 per cent) far exceeded the
increase in the number of female migrants (1.9 per
cent). The increase in male migrants in Asia has been
fuelled by the strong demand for migrant workers
in the oil-producing countries in Western Asia.
MIGRANTS BY AGE
On average, migrants in the North are older
than migrants in the South. The median age
for migrants in the developed regions in 2013 was
42 years compared to 33 years in the developing
regions. The median age of migrants in Africa is
the lowest (30 years), followed by Asia (34 years)
and Latin America and the Caribbean (37 years).
Oceania had the highest median age for migrants in
2013 (43 years), followed by Europe and Northern
America (42 years each).
Today, six out of every ten young international
migrants reside in developing regions. In 2013,
the number of international migrants below age
20 reached 35 million. Of these, nearly 22 million
reside in the South and 13 million in the North. As
a result, the developing regions host a larger share
of young persons among all international migrants
(23 per cent) compared to the developed regions
(10 per cent). Among major areas, Africa hosts the
highest proportion of young persons among all
international migrants (30 per cent), followed by
Latin America and the Caribbean (24 per cent) and
Asia (20 per cent).
Most international migrants are of working
age. In 2013, 171 million international migrants,
equal to 74 per cent of the global migrant stock,
asdf
were between the ages of 20 and 64. In the developed regions persons of working age account for
77 per cent of all international migrants, compared
to 69 per cent in the developing regions. Northern
America hosts the highest share of persons of working age among all international migrants (79 per
cent), followed by Europe (76 per cent) and Oceania
(73 per cent).
Most older migrants reside in the developed
regions. In 2013, the world hosted an estimated
26 million international migrants aged 65 and over.
Some 70 per cent of all older international migrants
(18 million) reside in the developed regions.
Migrants aged 65 or over represented 13 per cent of
all international migrants in the developed regions
compared to 8 per cent in the developing world.
Europe and Oceania recorded the highest share of
older persons among all international migrants in
2013 (14 per cent and 15 per cent, respectively).
MIGRANTS BY SEX AND AGE
Females
are
underrepresented
among
migrants of working age in the developing
regions. In 2013, female migrants accounted for 41
per cent of all international migrants aged between
20 and 64 years in the South. In contrast, women
outnumbered men in the developed regions among
migrants of working age (51 per cent). Asia recorded
the lowest proportion of females among migrants
of working age (39 per cent), followed by Africa (44
per cent). In all other major areas, women outnumbered men of working age: Latin America and the
Caribbean recorded the highest share of females
among migrants aged 20 to 64 (52 per cent), followed by Europe and Northern America (51 per
cent, each).
Women outnumber men among older international migrants in both developed and developing countries. In 2013, women accounted for
57 per cent of all migrants aged 65 or over in the
developed regions and 52 per cent in the developing regions. Europe (58 per cent) hosted the highest share of females among older international
migrants, followed by Northern America (57 per
cent) and Latin America and the Caribbean (53 per
cent).

among all international migrants was highest in
Europe (51.9 per cent), followed by Latin America
and the Caribbean (51.6 per cent) and Northern
America (51.2 per cent). Oceania hosts an almost
equal proportion of female and male migrants. In
contrast, male migrants significantly outnumber
female migrants in Asia (58.4 per cent) and Africa
