Net Migration (Million): Bangladesh & Pakistan (1990-2023)
In 2023, a record 6.93 million Asians migrated overseas to find work. Migrant workers in Asia-Pacific sent $371.5 billion in remittances, accounting for 43% of global totals. Net migration is the number of immigrants (people moving into a given country) minus number of emigrants (people moving out of the country).
Net migration is frequently used to assess population changes and the impact of migration on a country's demographics and economy. Historically, Bangladesh and Pakistan have experienced negative net migration, indicating more people leaving the country than arriving.
