As of 2005 the country that has the largest immigrant stock is the USA with 38.1 million immigrants. Russia and Germany follow her with 12.1 and 10.1 millions respectively. The countries that have the largest emigrant stocks are China, India and the Philippines with 35, 20 and 7 million emigrants respectively.
In some regions in the world, the level of migrant stock shrinks:
Although the level of Asian migrants reached 43.8 million in 2000 from its 28.1 million level in 1970, the share of Asia in the world migrant stock decreased to 25% from 34.5% in this period.
Africa too experienced a decrease in international migrant share: from 12% in 1970 to 9% in 2000.
The same holds for Latin America and the Caribbean’s (from 7.1% to 3.4%); Europe (from 22.9% to 18.7%) and the Oceania (from 3.7% to 3.3%).
Between 1970 and 2000, only North America and the former USSR have achieved increases in their migrant shares (from 15.9% to 23.3% and from 3.8% to 16.8% respectively). The reason of the increase in the USSR is not the increase in the number of migrants, but the re-determination of the borders of the country.
International stock of migrants concentrates in relatively low number of countries. 75% of international migrants are living in 12% of all the countries.
In order to determine which one is most global among labor force, trade and capital flows one can examine the shares of these variables in the world labor force stock, production volume and total capital. As of 2004, while migration constitutes only 3% of total labor force stock, international trade constitutes roughly 13% of production and capital flows constitute 15-20% of total capital on average. Therefore the statistics reflect less global labor force than trade or capital.
