When we talked about globalization were normally talking about four kinds of
movements.
Were talking about movements of goods and services.
We're talking about movements of capital and then movements of people.
And as we've said in an earlier session we are living in a period of
Hyperglobalization.
And in line with movements of capital, movements of trade, migration,
as part of globalization, is also at it's highest levels ever.
In 2015 they were close to 244 million international migrants worldwide.
Now this is contrast with only about 71 million in 1960, and
222 million in the year 2000, these are data from the United Nations.
And these migrants are flowing all over the world.
We're seeing a lot of them going south-south as we say,
from developing countries to developing countries.
But two-thirds of them actually live in Europe,
then we can follow that by Asia, North America, Africa.
The largest number of all international migrants, if we go country by country,
lived in the United States, which has one of the world's largest populations, so
that would make sense.
If we look at some slides and just kind of see what these figures are like,
this first slide you can see the total number of migrants in the world and
they are indicated by destination.
And you can see this number that we just referred to, the 242,
243 million in the world in 2015 coming all the way up from 71 million in 1960.
You can see here that most of them, if you follow these different curves,
most of them are going to high income countries.
Let me just mention that these numbers would include refugees.
And refugees are the people that we tend to discuss or debate over the most.
But refugees are actually a small number of total migrants.
Right now, there are only 19.5 million of them and
of that number, against sort of the stereotypes,
most of them are not living in developed countries.
There are 1.6 million in Turkey, 1.5 million in Pakistan,
1.2 million in Lebanon, and they're coming basically from three countries.
More than half of them come from just three countries,
Syria which has 3.9 million of them, Afghanistan which has 2.6 million,
and then Somalia which has 1.1 million.
So a lot of what we're seeing in the news are this specific group of people,
who are included in the curves on this graph of total migration.
And however, they are not going to high income countries.
If we move to the next graph.
And we're thinking about where these migrants are coming from.
