Note on the comparability of country-specific data: Countries around the world publish international migration data based on various definitions. For example, some countries define immigrants based on their place of birth, while others use citizenship as their defining criteria. While the information published by some governments may initially appear identical, the different concepts used can affect the comparability of the data. Because of these differences, it is necessary to exercise caution when drawing conclusions based on the comparison of migration statistics of several countries. The Country and Comparative Data Tool presents country-specific data published by governments worldwide. The table choices available in the Country and Comparative Data Tool are limited by the countries’ preferred data formats as well as the general availability of the data.
