Supplementary notes

International migrant stock is an estimation of the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained from population censuses. Additionally, population registers and nationally representative surveys provided information on the number and composition of international migrants.
