Re: Migration flows across the world
#2This is exactly what I was looking for over the past week or so! Great work.
Re: Migration flows across the world
#3Nice. I'd sort the "Migrant destinations" by number, and add a key for what each colour means.
Re: Migration flows across the world
#4Interestingly, both the UK and Russia are top destinations for people to both go to and leave.
Also there seem to be almost as many people leaving Russia to go to the Ukraine as leaving Ukraine to go to Russia. Any one have any idea why this would be?

Not sure about the permanence of the moves being tracked by the site, but the Eastern Ukraine has a lot of cultural overlap with Russia (see: Yanukovych's base of support) and has a booming natural gas economy that is fairly dominated by Gazprom. As a result, there's a lot of back and forth travel for extended periods of time by mid-level execs and families.

#6Adding in a table of the countries with the most emi/imigrants by proportion of the population would be useful.
I thought Afghanistan had a high emigrant figure - 8%
BUT New Zealand has 14% !

#7Interestingly there was a discussion over Bill Gate's measuring teachers report with heated debate about the right graph to choose (scatterplots vs xxx)
I like this and it is interesting information, but sorry, the "right" graphic to use here is the Mercator projection. I have to scroll down a long way to see which country people leave Azerbijan for (Russia).
But the data is interesting.
And its a helluva lot harder to code what I want :-)

#8Very nice information, but how about laying this out horizontally instead of vertically? The to/from lines are hard to follow if the destination country is three full screens away.

#9The table is pretty but it doesn't sort permanent versus temporary movements. For example I don't think the 1 million Pakistanis who've emigrated to Saudi Arabia will be allowed to get citizenship and settle which is quite different to other countries.

#10This is nicer:

Anyway, both sites use pretty obsolete data by now.
