The number of international migrants worldwide hit 304 million in 2024, a figure that has doubled since 1990.

As people relocate across borders for reasons ranging from work opportunities to conflict and displacement, certain countries have become major destinations for foreign-born populations.

An international migrant is defined as someone living in a country other than their birth country for at least 12 months, regardless of reasons or status.
