I was trying to figure out the inflow and outflow. It looks bidirectional.

If you pick 2023/2024 and the UK, you can see the disaster that is the Boris Wave.

#33Interesting how South America, with several countries made up majorly of immigrants, receives almost no new migrants now. Meanwhile the middle-east population is fleeing and being replaced with asians?
Internal migration has mostly saturated capacity all accross the region in South America
It'll take a while until anyone relaxes

#34Why has , recently, Pakistan been seen added more and more to a new category "MENAP" and separate from South Asia (i.e. India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh) ? These classifications should be geographic and could even racial, but it seems this new classification (MENAP) seems more "religious"
Pakistan being “south asia” makes about as much sense as Turkey and Saudi Arabia being labeled “west asia”. Technically correct, odd choice for modern communication.
Pedantic response that makes light of a real issue. In case you haven't noticed, not every "western" country is actually in the western hemisphere.

Europe and Central Asia added people. So did North America.
Middle East, North Africa, Afghanistan, and Pakistan was flat.
Other regions lost people.

That tool could be interesting if there was a way to stop the rendered globe from spinning. As is, it is unusable

#37*data doesn't go back beyond 2000, safe to ignore
??? Data quality issues usually get worse the further back you go.
Yes, but there are (in)famous examples such as the partition of Bengal (the tiger which Britain feared) being divided into Pakistan and India, which when included would provide a useful metric for the scale of human suffering involved.

if you click and hold on a country, it stops spinning :)

> Meanwhile the middle-east population is fleeing and being replaced with asians? Persians brought Hinduism to India, so maybe they're returning the favour
Eh? Persians gave the name "Hindus" to the people living in that area. But they had their own religion, Zoroastrianism. They didn't bring Hinduism because they didn't have Hinduism.
