Emigrants, 1995

1995, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

This is the number of people from each country who live in another — international migrants counted by where they come from rather than where they live. It is the mirror of the migrants a country hosts, and covers everyone abroad, from students and workers to refugees.

Emigrants, 1995 covers 220 countries on 2 measures. Russia is highest, at 10,281,407; Liechtenstein is lowest, at 28. The middle country reads 265,998. Against 1990, 220 values changed (173 up, 47 down), the same countries are covered.

Read before you use

How values are stored
  • One year of the 2024 release

    Every year in this series comes from UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release, recalculated on one method, so a change from one year to the next is not a revision. It can differ from what was first published for 1995.

  • Nothing missing

    Every one of the 220 countries has every column.
