Patterns of migration as a key determinant of population dynamics. (A) Net recipients of immigrants are the EU, the USA, and Australia, while significant emigration has been observed from area such as Latin America and the Caribbean, Central Europe, and the Baltic States, as well as China and Bangladesh. Although the annual migration figures are very variable, the evidence suggests a recent return to low levels of emigration from the ‘supplier’ nations to reach levels similar to those observed in 1960. (B) Related data for different regions of Africa, which also shows early signs of reversing the net emigration that has dominated the population profiles of these countries for the past half century.
