Visualizing Global Migration

I analyzed data from the UN (link below) to find out where people are moving to and from in the world today. I took all migrant groups of at least 100,000 people born in one country that now live in another, and showed them in the video with a flag ball. All sender countries that have at least one such ball are represented in the video, from the countries with the fewest emigrants, to the ones with the most.
I think it shows a lot about politics and history. But please let me know in the comments what you found most surprising or interesting!

As a Kazakh, I'd like to add a little context. At the 3:43 mark you can see that there is a huge number of people immigrating from Kazakhstan to Russia, Germany and Ukraine. These are Germans, Russians and Ukrainians, who were forcefully deported in Kazakhstan during Soviet times (or their children) and they are now returning back home.

[@Sundellviz]

Super interesting. I did not know that. Thanks for the info!

[@daltonmiller5590]

I've heard of Germans and Ukrainians in Kazakhstan, and of course, large parts of the north of Kazakhstan are still inhabited by Russians to this day. I'm curious, as a native Kazakh, what is your opinion of these people? Do you wish for them to assimilate into Kazakh society, for them to leave and give Kazakhstan back to the Kazakh people, or for Kazakhstan itself to become a multicultural state? No hard feelings no matter the response. All responses have valid arguments and are justifiable imo.

[@t111ran3]

@@daltonmiller5590There are also many nations such as Koreans, Uzbeks, Poles etc. They don't need to assimilate, that's silly. They were born and raised here. I would like to all cultures to be embraced here. Of course, I wouldn't mind if someone wanted to emigrate, but I don't want anyone to actively leave.

Romanian here. Basically the migration is powered by a combination of lack of jobs + the large number of opportunities you have by being an EU member. The migration is not only external, internally most of the people are moving to the bigger cities leaving the rural and smaller cities empty that eventually creates a big hole in the regional economy forcing more people to migrate, it's an infinite cycle that will only accelerate in the following years in my opinion.

Not really the case in China. China is one of the countries with the smallest percentage of immigrants in the world. According to the census from 2020, there are less than 850000 foreigners living in China (Not include people from Hong Kong and Taiwan). Compared with the population of 1.4 billion, it's not that much. Even much less than Japan with nearly 2.9 million. And more than half of them are from Vietnam and Myanmar which usually come to China by intermarriage. Actually, less than 400000 of the foreigners staying in China are for work or business.

[@Milemione234]

The ratio of foreigners in China is only 0.1%. While South Korea has 3.5% and Japan has 2.5 percent.

Yep, Brazil is culturally separate from the continent, we speak portuguese and had portuguese colonization as the others had Spain as colonizer - and our independence is pretty particular (we become a empire by ourselves leaded by a portuguese prince LOL) and very late compared to the Spanish America. Also a brazilian most will look for USA or Europe (Portugal) as a viable opportunity and south americans don't see Brazil as their first choice because of this disconnection (except Venezuelans nowadays, but is the communist Venezuela of today, anything goes - but even for them we are second choice to Colombia).

That is very cool! Indeed, there is a lot of "brain drain" in Romania as people are generally overqualified & underpaid (it's common for a Romanian to have Masters level education but be offered 500 euro salary). Most people choose to go into STEM fields while the country itself offers few such career opportunities. Ironically, there is a strong STEM-based education left over from the soviet era. Not super-modern, but still decent. IT & engineering are seen as good professions, closely followed by law & healthcare. Romanian students joke that if you don't want either, you can always study business & hope for a corporate job. And of course, the elephant in the room, the political system. Up until recently, the social-democrat party (basically the "diet communism" guys) used to win most elections. Somehow :) They are known for being exceptionatelly corrupt & opposed to progress. So many people who left were just done with that. There are some ongoing reforms in education, salary structure & funds for business start-ups which aim to retain highly skilled workers.

American here, at 3:08 you can see that many Americans left the us and went to Mexico. The reason for this is simply that immigrants from Mexico moved to the US, made families, and then some of those children wanted to go back to Mexico, but since they were born in the US are considered American.

I think is probably Americans spending their retirement in a low-cost country.

Hi from Greece. I have ex classmates (some good friends) in Switzerland, the US (Chicago, New York, New Jersey), the UK, Israel, Australia, Germany, France and some are thinking about Italy and Spain right now. Many people go to work in Arab countries too. Mostly the UAE and Saudi Arabia. It's a bit sad really. At least this generation are going to work in good positions. Last century it was mostly people that couldn't even speak a second language leaving their families to work as blue collar workers.

Interesting to find beside being 4th largest populations in the world, there were none of immigration happened in Indonesia. But we do have a lot of immigrations though. Many Chinese, Europeans, Indians, or Middle eastern countries come here hundred years ago. But most of them already assimilate with locals. And of course some of them still keep their original culture, such as chinese Indonesian for example

[@gurunhitam3414]

We used to be global cosmopolitan even scottish, germans, british were there in colonial time, until it isn't. If indonesian fighters weren't being so extreme and emotionally patriotic (i know this is controversial for saying this) killing indo-europeans in our land, we might still at least internationally recognized and get some dutch people moving to our country as immigrants because they feel connections to some relatives. That's the darkest point of our history, effectively killing foreigners because we had "all foreigners are evil colonizers and they must died" mentality while not every dutchmen are evil. My point is, "us vs them" mentality is the reason from this fact alone (Bersiap period, Ganyang Malaysia bullshits). And sad part is, we even hate Chinese thanks to Soeharto's new order and class divisions in colonial time. Our paranoia of losing jobs to Chinese and distrustful towards Chinese that run into our blood since colonial time, it's terrible, that obstructs us to get immigrants.

Can we talk about the fact that Mongolia isn't present at all. No one comes and no one goes away.

[@lynxfresh5214]

Literally over 95% of Mongolia is uninhabited by human settlements and it's among the most sparsely populated countries in the world due to it's harsh climate. There's no incentive to migrate there but by the same measure it's extremely difficult, if not impossible for most Mongolians to leave due to how underdeveloped it is (being squashed inbetween Russia and China doesn't help either) then again some folks prefer the simple life. On the brightside thanks to Genghis Khan there's likely millions of people across Eurasia that have Mongolian ancestry and don't even know it.

The migration to middle east is different from the Migratin to Europe and USA. These are just workers. And after the work is over, they will have to return to their own country. You can't be a permanent resident in middle east. But most people migrate to Europe and USA will become a permanent resident.

[@MH1997]

But with that they are considered immigrants even if temporarily, and they make big amount of money compared to their country and they send it to their country and their families.

[@RoRZoro]

@@MH1997 But when people hear the world immigrants, they think it's like immigrants in USA or Europe where they can get a citizenship if you live there for a long time.
