 Did you know that by 2017, approximately one in every 30 people was an international migrant? An estimated 258 million out of a global population of 7.6 billion are people who have left their country. But contrary to some media reports, most people remain within their country of birth. 74% of international migrants are of working age. 52% are male, while 48% are female. Asia and Europe are home to the largest share of the total international migrant stock. Between 1990 and 2017, the percentage of international migrants grew to 3.4% of the world's population. Although around the world, the international migrants population varies significantly. For more information, please visit World Migration Report 2018.
