Why do Japanese media call it a new trend of young people migrating to Asia?

On April 13, it was reported that young Asians who had previously chosen rich Europe and America recently chose Asia as their immigration destination, which will support labor supply and economic development. The number of immigrants targeting Europe and the United States has decreased, while the aging of Europe and the United States has intensified, which may lead to new anti-immigration movements in various countries by increasing the burden of social security.

According to United Nations data, as of 20 17, the number of global immigrants reached 258 million, an increase of 50% compared with 2000. There are 50 million immigrants living in the United States, the largest number, but Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India are also in the forefront. Equivalent to 30% of the total, about 80 million people live in Asia, including the Middle East. In terms of regions, the number of Asian immigrants surpassed that of Europe in 20 15, ranking first.

The United Nations defines people living in countries and regions different from their countries of origin as "immigrants", including migrant workers, refugees, family members who move overseas to work with their heads of household, and international students. Not including tourists and short stay for several months.

According to the report, the United States is still the largest receiving country in terms of the number of immigrants, but the inflow rate is slowing down. So, how many immigrants are there in the world? Let's look at it from the perspective of "flow"

During the period of 1990, the number of foreigners who immigrated to the United States reached11600,000, and nearly 60% of the new immigrants in the world immigrated to the United States. However, it dropped to 9.4 million in 2000 and further dropped to 5.6 million in 20 10. In contrast, Asia. There were only 1 10,000 people in the 1990s, but it increased to167,000 people in 2000 and137,000 people in 2065.438+00.
