The International Migration Organization (IMO) at the UN reported that there are 281 million international migrants in the world, and the number of displaced persons reached 117 million.
MOM published a “report on world migration for 2024”, which indicates significant changes in the structure of world migration, including a record number of displaced persons and a significant increase in the number of illegal migrants.
The report notes that international migration continues to be the driving force of human development and economic growth, and international donations in this area increased by more than 650 percent from 2000 to 2022, from $ 1231 billion dollars.
According to the document, growth in this area continues, despite the forecasts of many analysts about a significant reduction in donations due to the outbreak of the Kovid-19 virus.
The report says that $ 647 billion out of $ 831 billion were sent to countries with low and average income, and it is noted that donations can be a significant part of the gross domestic product of these countries. It was noted that the volume of donations exceeds the volume of direct foreign investment in these countries.
– Mass movements require an urgent solution
“While around the world there are about 281 million international migrants, the number of people moved as a result of conflicts, violence, natural disasters and other reasons reached its peak at the end of 2022 and amounted to 117 million. This situation indicates that the need for urgent search for solutions of crises related to the movement of the population. “
The UN notes that migration is an integral part of human history and is often overshadowed by sensational narratives, as well as that most migrations are regular, safe and regional, and it is noted that they are directly related to existence and means of existence.
The report is designed to help dispel untrue ideas, provide important information and inspire constructive actions to solve the problems and capabilities of human mobility.
The Director General of the MOM AMI PUP, whose opinion is included in the report, noted that the report helps to reveal the complexity of human mobility using actual data and analytical research.
PROURE, in particular, emphasizes: “Understanding the dynamics of migration in a world suffering from uncertainty is vital for making justified decisions and effective political measures. The report improves this understanding, clarifying long -standing trends and emerging problems.”
