Data for 1969

Net Migration Rate, 1969

1969, as UN DESA Population Division’s 2024 release gives it · stored as published, never rewritten

The net migration rate is the number of people who moved into a country in a year minus the number who left, for every 1,000 people living there. A positive figure means more arrivals than departures; a negative one means more people left than came.

Net Migration Rate, 1969 covers 222 countries. United Arab Emirates is highest, at 166.494; Northern Mariana Islands is lowest, at -87.200. The middle country reads -0.550. Against 1968, 216 values changed (99 up, 117 down), the same countries are covered.
