Resumen
Descripción
This fact book for 2008 attempts to
present numbers and facts behind the stories of
international migration and remittances, drawing on
authoritative, publicly available data. It provides a
snapshot of statistics on immigration, emigration, skilled
emigration, and remittance flows for 194 countries and 13
regional and income groups. The top migrant destination
countries are the United States, the Russian Federation,
Germany, Ukraine, and France. The top immigration countries,
relative to population, are Qatar (78 percent), the United
Arab Emirates (71 percent), Kuwait (62 percent), Singapore
(43 percent), Israel (40 percent), and Jordan (39 percent).
The authors have attempted to present the best possible data
in the Fact book, drawing on authoritative sources. However,
the user is advised to take note of the pitfalls of using
currently available migration and remittances data.
Remittance flows and the stock of migrants may be
underestimated due to the use of informal remittance
channels, irregular migration, and ambiguity in the
definition of migrants (foreign born versus foreigner,
seasonal versus permanent). Considerably more effort is
needed to improve the quality of data.
