路透社引述聯合國經濟與社會事務部(U.N.Department of Economic and Social Affairs)報告稱,近半數全球移民出生於亞洲,或多來自亞洲。聯合國難民事務高級專員公署本月稍早表示,歐洲今年目前有近90萬名難民及移民,其中半數為逃離境內戰事之敘利亞人。

聯合國副秘書長艾里亞森(Jan Eliasson)亦證實,全球移民人數持續增加,主因為經濟不平等、市場全球化及民眾想追求更佳生活品質等。

報告指,移民多居於美國,共達4,700萬人;其次為德俄兩國,分別為1200萬人;再者為沙特,共1000萬人。報告亦稱,印度移居外地人口眾,約1600萬名人;其次則係墨西哥、俄國及中國。
