HUMAN MIGRATION


The report titled ‘International Migration 2020 Highlights’ marks out several interesting global migration trends that are of interest in India, the ‘largest transnational community in the world’ with 18 million of its citizens living outside their homeland in 2020, above Russian Federation and Mexico (11 million each), China (10 million) and the Syrian Arab Republic (eight million). (In 2019 India received USD 83 billion in remittances from its diaspora.)
The report indicates that as world population is ageing rapidly, there is an increasing ‘gender-specific demand’ for migrant workers, especially for care-related work in many high-income countries. According to the report, the number of people living outside their country of origin was 281 million in 2020, which is less than four per cent of the world’s total population. This proportion, has been increasing steadily over the past two decades. Of the 10 countries with the highest shares of migrants in total population among countries hosting one million or more migrants in 2020, six were in the region of Northern Africa and West Asia.
