An incredible new interactive map lets you see exactly how levels of migration have increased across the globe in the last three decades.
Experts used United Nations figures to depict the numbers of people moving into and out of nations across the globe from 1990 to the present day.
Some countries, including the United States the United Kingdom, have seen a doubling of the number of immigrants in the last 30 years.
The map also shows exactly where in the world immigrants to each country have come from and where emigrants from specific nations have ended up.
The findings were made by experts from the Pew Research Center in Washington DC, a nonpartisan think tank that informs the public about the issues, attitudes and trends shaping the world.
The figures in their interactive feature refer to the total number, or cumulative ‘stocks’ of migrants living around the world as of 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2017 rather than to the annual rate of migration, or current ‘flows’, in a given year.
Since migrants have both an origin and a destination, international migrants can be viewed from two directions – as an emigrant leaving an origin country or as an immigrant entering a destination country.
The map reveals that migration into the US has increased from 23,250,000 in 1990 to 49,780,000 in 2017. In the UK, this number was 3,650,000 in 1990, rising to 8,840,000 in 2017.
Emigration out of the US by residents also increased, from 1,740,000 in 1990 to 3,020,000 in 2017, while in the UK this rose from 2,680,000 to 4,920,000.
According to the United Nations Population Division, an international migrant is someone who has been living for one year or longer in a country other than the one in which he or she was born.
This means that many foreign workers and international students are counted as migrants.
Additionally, the UN considers refugees and, in some cases, their descendants – such as Palestinians born in refugee camps outside of the Palestinian territories – to be international migrants.
For the purposes of the interactive feature, Pew estimates of the number of unauthorised immigrants living in various countries also are included in the total counts.
On the other hand, tourists, foreign-aid workers, temporary workers employed abroad for less than a year and overseas military personnel typically are not counted as migrants.
The United Nations uses a taxonomy of nations and territories and classifies migrants born in territories as international migrants, even if their citizenship is different from their territory of birth.

For example, UN data counts people born in Puerto Rico, a US commonwealth, as international migrants even though they are US citizens by birth.
For this reason, some UN estimates of the foreign-born population shown here may differ from other estimates published by the US Census Bureau or Pew Research Center.
As another example, recent Pew Research Center estimates show that fewer new Mexican immigrants enter the US and a greater number return to Mexico.
The UN migration estimates do not reflect this recent Mexico-US trend and thus differ from previously published Pew Research Center estimates of the Mexican immigrant population in the US.
Data for individual countries are based on the UN’s list of countries in 2017, even if some of these countries did not exist or had different boundaries in earlier years.
Estimates in the interactive do not list the origins of the world’s migrants – numbering about 10.6 million, or four pert cent of the world’s international migrant population in 2017 – that are unknown.
Pew has revealed in March that nearly 1.5 million people have left sub-Saharan Africa for Europe and the United States since 2010, while millions more are making plans to follow in their footsteps
‘The survey results do indicate a certain restlessness among people who want to leave their countries or plan to in the next years,’ said Phillip Connor, senior researcher of the report, speaking to Reuters.
Sub-Saharan African nations account for eight of the 10 fastest growing international migrant populations since 2010.
The number of emigrants from each of these sub-Saharan countries grew by 50 per cent or more between 2010 and 2017, significantly more than the 17 per cent worldwide average increase for the same period.

At the country level, only Syria had a higher rate of growth in its number of people living in other countries.
The total number of emigrants worldwide from all sub-Saharan African countries combined grew by 31 per cent between 2010 and 2017, outpacing the rate of increase from both the Asia-Pacific (15 per cent) and Latin America-Caribbean (nine per cent) regions.
Only the Middle East-North Africa region saw a larger increase (39 per cent) of people living outside of their birth country during the same span, driven largely by people fleeing conflict in Syria.
Some 25 million sub-Saharan migrants lived outside their countries of birth in 2017.
Sub-Saharan Africa includes all countries and territories in continental Africa except Algeria, Egypt, Libya, Morocco, Sudan, Tunisia and Western Sahara.

Sub-Saharan Africa also includes islands Cape Verde, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, Mayotte, Reunion, Sao Tome and Principe, Seychelles, and St. Helena.
The number of international migrants from sub-Saharan Africa between 2010 and 2017 has grown at a higher rate (31 per cent) than in the 2000s (25 per cent) and the 1990s (one per cent).
And as international migration has increased, the breakdown of where sub-Saharan emigrants live has changed.
In 1990, 75 per cent of emigrants from the region lived in other sub-Saharan countries, a share that dropped to 68 per cent by 2017.
Over the same period, the share of sub-Saharan emigrants who live in the United States climbed from two per cent to six per cent.

How the migration crisis has fanned the flames of extremism in Italy
Italy’s geographical position in the Mediterranean and its proximity to North Africa means that it has been at the frontline in dealing with mass migration to Europe.
Tighter controls, fences, and an EU deal with Turkey have helped stem the flow of migrants through the Balkans into Central and Western Europe, leaving Italy as one of the remaining routes.
The resulting wave of migration has seen it has become one of the key issues in Italian politics, with populist and far-right parties seeking to exploit anxiety about the large numbers that continue to arrive.
Italy has been on the frontline in coping with the large number of migrants crossing the Mediterranean
Italy first began to experience waves of migration during the wars in the Balkans in the 1990s.
But it took off in the 2000s, as people smugglers began talking migrants to the island of Lempadusa, just 100 miles from the Libyan coast.
What had been a problem soon became a crisis after 2011 when the collapse of the Gaddafi regime in Libya lead to the country descending into lawlessness.
Italy’s hard pressed navy and border forces struggled to stem the tide as people smugglers changed their tactics and simply left migrants in barely seaworthy vessels in international waters to be rescued.
The numbers have recently begun to fall, partly as a result of a deal struck between the EU and the Libyan coastguard which sees migrants returned to Libya, where they are placed in camps.
While migrants who made the perilous journey across the Mediterranean in rickety boats still numbered nearly 119,000 in 2017, it was a roughly one-third drop over the previous year.
Migrants yelling for assistance after a wooden boat bound for Italy carrying more than 500 people capsized
Ordinary Italians, alarmed by the arrival of some 600,000 migrants in the past four years, have welcomed the trend.
A poll at the end of 2017 month showed two thirds of Italians do not want more immigrants, fearing they will take away jobs and increase crime.
The Northern League, tapping into the anti-immigrant mood, has seen its popularity more than double to about 15 percent in three years.
Its leader, Matteo Salvini, has accused ‘fake refugees’ of ‘invading’ Italy and bringing crime with them.
‘Our culture, our society, our traditions and our way of life are threatened. An invasion is under way,’ he said.
Not to be outdone, the 5-Star Movement’s candidate for prime minister, Luigi Di Maio, accused charity ships rescuing migrants piled onto overcrowded and unseaworthy boats of being a ‘taxi service’.
This has helped make African immigrants a small but fast-growing slice of the overall US immigrant population. As of 2017, nearly 1.5 million sub-Saharan immigrants lived in the US, according to UN data.
More substantially, the share of sub-Saharan migrants living in European Union countries, Norway and Switzerland rose from 11 per cent in 1990 to 17 per cent in 2017.
Sub-Saharan emigrants are only part of Africa’s international migration story. North African nations have also experienced decades of significant migration to Europe and other parts of the world.
In 2017, about 5.2 million North African immigrants lived in EU countries, Norway and Switzerland, compared with about three million in 1990.
Despite the large increase, the North Africa-to-Europe migration corridor is dwarfed by the world’s largest corridor – Mexico to the US Some 12 million Mexican immigrants live in the US as of 2017.
