Bangladesh BD: International Migrant Stock: Total data remains active status in CEIC and is reported by World Bank. The data is categorized under Global Database’s Bangladesh – Table BD.World Bank.WDI: Population and Urbanization Statistics. International migrant stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees. The data used to estimate the international migrant stock at a particular time are obtained mainly from population censuses. The estimates are derived from the data on foreign-born population--people who have residence in one country but were born in another country. When data on the foreign-born population are not available, data on foreign population--that is, people who are citizens of a country other than the country in which they reside--are used as estimates. After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991 people living in one of the newly independent countries who were born in another were classified as international migrants. Estimates of migrant stock in the newly independent states from 1990 on are based on the 1989 census of the Soviet Union. For countries with information on the international migrant stock for at least two points in time, interpolation or extrapolation was used to estimate the international migrant stock on July 1 of the reference years. For countries with only one observation, estimates for the reference years were derived using rates of change in the migrant stock in the years preceding or following the single observation available. A model was used to estimate migrants for countries that had no data.;United Nations Population Division, Trends in Total Migrant Stock: 2012 Revision.;Sum;

In fact, stricter immigration policies were enacted between 2018 and 2019 by the right-wing and populist government supported by the League and the Five-Star Movement. Among the most frequent countries of origin declared upon arrivals in 2024, Bangladesh and Syria ranked in the first places. About 13,800 were Bangladeshi citizens, while around 12,500 immigrants came from Syria. Asylum seekers and minors among the migrants In 2023, the largest number of asylum applicants in Italy were from Bangladesh.

Contrasting opinions and distorted perceptions  According to the data published by Ipsos, a part of Italians tend to overestimate the size of the immigrated population. The results of this survey uncovered the presence of distorted perceptions in 2018: people thought that about 28 percent of the Italian population was not born in Italy, whereas the actual percentage was around ten. Furthermore, the public opinion on migration was controversial. In the same year, roughly half of the population perceived migrants as a risk for the Italian economy. On the other hand, 18 percent of Italians believed that migration could be a resource for the country.

FUME data on projected distributions of migrants at local level between 2030 and 2050.

The dataset contains a folder of data for each destination city as a gridded dataset at 100m resolution in GeoTIFF format. The examined destination cities are: Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Krakow and Rome. The dataset is provided as 100m grid cells based on the Eurostat GISCO grid of the 2021 NUTS version, using ETRS89 Lambert Azimuthal Equal-Area (EPSG: 3035) as coordinate system. The file names consist of the projected year, the corresponding scenario, and the reference migrant group. The projections have been performed for the years 2030, 2040 and 2050. The investigated scenarios are the following: • benchmark (bs), • baseline (bs), • Rising East (re), • EU Recovery (eur), • Intensifying Global Competition (igc), and • War (war).

The migration background is derived from data about the Region of Origin (RoO) for migrants in Copenhagen and Amsterdam, and from Region of Citizenship (CoC) for migrants in Krakow and Rome.

The case study of Copenhagen covers the two central NUTS3 areas (DK011, DK012) and the groups presented are the following: • total population (totalpop), • native population (DNK), • Eastern EU European migrants (EU_East), • Western EU Europeans migrants (EU_West), • Non-EU European migrants (EurNonEU), • migrants from Turkey (Turkey), • the MENAP countries (MENAP; excluding Turkey), • other non-Western (OthNonWest), and • other Western countries (OthWestern).

The case study of Amsterdam covers one NUTS3 area (NL329) and the presented groups are the following: • total population (totalpop), • native population (NLD), • Eastern EU European migrants (EU East), • Western EU European migrants (EU West), • migrants from Turkey and Morocco (Turkey + Morocco), • migrants from the Middle East and Africa (Middle East + Africa), • migrants from the former colonies (Former Colonies), and • migrants from the rest of the world (Other Europe etc).

The case study of Krakow covers the Municipality of Krakow, and the presented groups are the following: • total population (totalpop), • native population (POL), • EU/EFTA European migrants (EU), • non-EU European migrants (Europe_nonEU), and • migrants from the rest of the world (Other).

The case of Rome covers the Municipality of Rome, and the presented groups are the following: • total population (totalpop), • native population (ITA), • migrants from Romania (ROU), • Philippines (PHL), • Bangladesh (BGD), • the EU (EU; excluding Romania), • Africa (Africa), • Asia (Asia; excluding Philippines and Bangladesh) and • America (America).

This survey is part of a broader evaluation study that supports the Foreign Commonwealth and Development office, United Kingdom (formerly DFID) funded program Work in Freedom Phase 2 (WiF-2), the International Labor Organization (ILO) has implemented between 2018 and 2023. WiF-2 aims "to reduce vulnerability to trafficking and forced labor of women and girls across migration pathways leading to the care sector and textiles, clothing, leather and footwear industries (TCLFI) of South Asia and the Arab States" (TOC WiF-2). Forced migration includes deceptive or coercive recruitment, abuse of vulnerable situations, exploitative conditions of work, coercion at the destination, and abuse of vulnerability at the destination. The program aims to reach at least 350,000 women and girls at source in India, Nepal, Bangladesh, and at destinations in Oman, Bahrain, Lebanon, and Jordan. This survey is aimed to quantify the women's migration dynamics, migration-related decision-making, and empowerment. We collected information about female migrants and their spouses (or other influential family members) to assess the risk of forced labor and trafficking along the migration pathway and the impact of WiF interventions to date. In addition to assessing the impact of WiF-2 programs, information from the survey is being used to establish an innovating Women's Empowerment in Migration Index (WEMI) to measure women's ability (due to WiF2's intervention) to make decisions about entering/staying/leaving exploitative work conditions. The survey was conducted in six districts of Bangladesh identified as migration-prone where the International Labor Organization project had been active, including Narayanganj, Kishoreganj, Dhaka, Brahmanbaria, Gazipur and Faridpur from May to June 2022. It is important to highlight that the survey was purposive, non-probability samples targeting experienced, potential and non-migrants. The results are not generalizable to a larger population, as the sampling was created in the context of programme evaluation.

The number of immigrants from Bangladesh in 2020 stood at over two million making it the highest international migrant stock in India. However, the number has declined significantly since 1990. Pakistani migrants constituted the second-highest international migrant stock at over one million people. The total number of international migrants represented 0.4 percent of the total population of India.
