> 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.
Indians called it hinduism, but it came from iran.

#53Fascinating to see that MENA is a net positive on migration. There's often a lot of rhetoric around MENA migration to Europe and North America, but you hear much less about migration to MENA countries.
Saudi Arabia has one of the highest immigration populations on Earth, somewhere around 42% contrasted against 15.8% in the US (which is an all-time high). They offer huge wages for pretty much everything, have dirt cheap living costs, and like many Mideast countries - there's no taxes for individuals.

I think people underestimate how many people move back to their home country once they have a better chance (through e.g. education or money) and / or when the situation there improves (e.g. stability). It's why I don't understand why the anti-immigration parties don't do more internationally to help other countries.

Less cynically, perhaps we correctly realize that some countries are beyond our saving by us throwing money at them.

#55People who believe they are financially secure may move from regions which are considered “wealthy” to regions which are seen to be “poorer” (and cheaper). This outflow can influence this data. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/american-...
> This outflow can influence this data Influence how? Migrations from wealthy to poor regions are still migrations, no?
They are... but the interpretation is different. They aren't looking for opportunity, at least not in the normal sense. And they aren't fleeing oppression in the normal sense either.

The reason why pouring money into countries that source immigrants is a questionable solution is graft.

#59As the article points out. The researcher’s site has an exploratory tool to view the data [1]. [1] https://www.socsc.hku.hk/rhps/global-migration/
Thanks! We'll put that link in the toptext as well.
