The Migration DataSussex Database is the most comprehensive resource available, offering globally comparable migration stock data from 226 countries and territories based on the latest census data from 2000/1. Notable findings include migration flows: 37% from South to North, 24% South to South, and 16% North to North. The data reveals that over 50% of international migration occurs between countries with a common language, and there is a negative relationship between distance and the number of migrants, with individuals often moving up the GNI per capita ladder.
