Questions

Which country has the highest net migration?

Ukraine has the highest net migration: +43.7 per 1,000 people (2025). Next come Oman (+20.7 per 1,000 people) and Syria (+16.5 per 1,000 people).

Which country has the lowest net migration?

The Marshall Islands, with −46.8 per 1,000 people (2025).

What is the typical net migration of a country?

The median of the 192 countries is −0.4 per 1,000 people: half are above it, half below. The median, not the average, because a few countries at the top would drag an average far above almost everyone.

Where do the figures come from?

People who moved into the country in a year minus people who moved out, for every 1,000 inhabitants — above zero, more arrive than leave. Source: World Bank, 2025. Only independent states are ranked; territories are listed separately.
