Fig. 2 — Estimated percentage of the world population migrating compared with a population-weighted average of absolute net migration rates, w(t), for five-year periods from 1990 to 2010. Estimates of percentage of world population migrating are taken from Abel and Sander (2014). For this figure, we convert rates from the usual “net annual migrants per thousand” to “net five-year migrants per hundred” to put them on a comparable scale with percentage of world population migrating. There is a strong and significant correlation between the two quantities (R ²=.989, p=.006)
