Global migration – key figures and trends
In 2015, the number of international migrants worldwide – people residing in a country other than their country of
birth – was the highest ever recorded, having reached 244 million (compared to 232 million in 2013). However, as a share
of the world population, international migration has remained fairly constant over the past decades, at around 3%1.
South-South migration flows (across developing countries) continued to grow compared to South-North movements (from
developing to developed countries). In 2015, international migrants in the Global South reached 90.2 million compared 85.3
million international migrants from the Global South to the Global North1.
Most forced displacement globally still occurs within countries’ borders:
• 40.8 million people internally displaced by conflict and violence2 (by end of 2015)
• No total global figures for people still displaced by disasters. In 2015 alone, disasters displaced around 19.2 million
people across 113 countries, more than twice the number of those who fled conflict and violence 2
21.3 million refugees* and 10 million stateless people3 (2015)

THE NEW YORK DECLARATION: SELECTED COMMITMENTS
The Global Compact on Migration - IOM’s vision
IOM envisions a global compact that will place the rights, needs, capacities and contributions of migrants
at its core, with a view to ensuring their safety, dignity and human rights.
Central to this vision are four core elements:
1. Protecting the rights of migrants;
2. Facilitating safe, orderly and regular migration;
3. Reducing the incidence and impacts of forced and irregular migration; and
4. Addressing mobility consequences of natural and human-induced disasters.
The Modalities Resolution, adopted by the UN General Assembly on 7 April 2017
- Outlining the elements and timeline of the process
“The global compact will be developed through an open, transparent and inclusive process of consultations and negotiations and the effective participation of all relevant stakeholders, including civil society, the private sector, academic institutions, parliaments, diaspora communities, and migrant organizations in both the intergovernmental conference and its preparatory process.”
