This statistic shows the top ten metropolitan areas in the United States with highest unauthorized immigrant populations in 2014. With over one million unauthorized people, New York-Newark-Jersey City, NY-NJ-PA had the highest illegal immigrant population in the United States in 2014.

This statistic shows the total population of Saudi Arabia from 2020 to 2024, with projections up until 2030. In 2024, Saudi Arabia's total population amounted to 35.3 million inhabitants. Population of Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia, the second largest Arab state, is a nation in development. As a result of the economic stability, gross domestic product (GDP) has grown by about 520 billion U.S. dollars over the past decade. This comes as a result of Saudi Arabia’s positive trade balance and the fact that Saudi Arabia exports about 2.5 times more goods than it imports. Therefore, it is no surprise that Saudi Arabia has constantly had a very high GDP growth in the past decade. In a developing country, there is a tendency for the population to move to more urban cities where the employment rates are higher. The degree of urbanization in Saudi Arabia has grown by around 2 percent from 2002 to 2012. Some of the biggest cities in Saudi Arabia have witnessed the urbanization changes first-hand. The capital of Saudi Arabia and the biggest city, Ar-Riyad, is home to about five million inhabitants. However, the high number of illegal immigrants in Saudi Arabia also accounts for the total population. More awareness to health risks and better living conditions have increased the life expectancy at birth in Saudi Arabia by about 3 years in the last decade. With a rapidly growing total population, it has grown by around 8 million inhabitants over the past decade, the government has set some rules to avoid overcrowding and overpopulation. The fertility rate in Saudi has steadily decreased over the past years in order to attempt to control the rapidly growing population.

The number of people that arrived in Spain illegally by land through the northern African city of Ceuta varied over time. The number of irregular migrants that arrived in Spain by land through this city was estimated to be approximately ***** in 2024.

As of December 2024, Lombardy was the region in Italy hosting the largest share of immigrants, followed by Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, and Piedmont. Lombardy is the region with the highest number of inhabitants in the country. The north Italian region has ten million residents, around one sixth of the total national population, and was housing 18,200 immigrants. The Mediterranean route to Europe  In 2020, 955 migrants died or went missing in the Italian Central Mediterranean Sea in the attempt to reach Europe. In 2024, 66,317 people arrived at the Italian shores, 91,300 individuals less compared to 2023. Death and missing cases still represent a serious hazard for the people who want to reach Italy from North Africa. Racism on the rise in Italy Race-related violence is strictly correlated with immigration. According to 2020 data, the cases of racial physical violence increased, in particular between 2016 and 2018. Over these three years, the cases of body violence ranged from 24 to 127 attacks. Similarly, insults, threats, and harassment became more widespread. Between 2017 and 2019, the cases grew from 88 to 206, while only in the first three months of 2020 there were 53 episodes of racist insults, threats, and harassment.

Abstract

A cluster-randomized experiment with 3,641 young men from 391 settlements in The Gambia is used to test three approaches to reducing risky migration: providing better information and testimonials about the risks of the journey, facilitating migration to a safer destination by providing information and assistance for migration to Dakar, and offering vocational skill training to enhance domestic employment opportunities. A baseline survey and follow-up survey 18 months later are used.

Geographic coverage

The Gambia is divided into five administrative regions and the capital city area of Banjul. We selected the two Eastern-most regions of the Upper River Region (URR) with a population of 240,000; and the Central River Region (CRR) with a population of 226,000

Sampling procedure

The Gambia is divided into five administrative regions and the capital city area of Banjul. We selected the two Eastern-most regions of the Upper River Region (URR) with a population of 240,000; and the Central River Region (CRR) with a population of 226,000. These regions were chosen due to their high propensities of irregular migration and poor access to conventional sources of information about migration.

Using estimated population sizes projected from the 2013 Gambian census, we identified settlements that were predicted to have at least 35 males aged between 18 and 30, and that had total population sizes below 3,000. We then used data from the 2015/16 integrated household survey to exclude two districts with the lowest shares of households receiving remittances, to ensure we focused on areas with higher likelihoods of migration. We then randomly selected 404 settlements from a pool of 580 eligible settlements to conduct a listing exercise.

Settlements are divided into enumeration areas (EAs), consisting of at most 500 individuals (50 households), and most settlements consist of only one EA. We randomly chose up to 2 EAs per settlement and conducted a door-to-door listing exercise of all households in these 404 settlements to record whether they have at least one male aged 18 to 30. Listing took place from March 26, 2019 to April 11, 2019 (see study timeline in Appendix A5) and listed 5,597 households with males aged 18 to 30 in the 404 villages. The baseline survey then took place between April 19, 2019 and May 18, 2019. Data collection was conducted in 391 settlements, after dropping 13 small settlements that had fewer than 4 eligible households. Within the eligible households, the baseline interview took place with a male 18 to 30

Mode of data collection

Computer Assisted Personal Interview [capi]

Research instrument

The following survey instruments were used to collecte the data: - Household Listing - Baseline Survey - Youth Endline Survey - Household Endline Survey - Elders Endline Survey - Household Phone Survey

Response rate

We ended up with a final panel of 3,640 youth which were either interviewed face-to-face (n=2,761) or through the phone (n=475), or for which we got information from their household head (n=370), the elder survey (n=28) or only their WhatsApp location (n=6). Only 1 individual, a teacher, was lost because he could not be contacted by phone and the whole household had moved out.

The number of people that arrived in Spain illegally by land through the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla fluctuated over the period of time under consideration, peaking in 2018 at *****.

This is a .csv file containing an export obtained from the Altmetric Explorer containing metadata including links and altmetrics of 1,095 articles with the keyword 'immigrants’ mentioned at least once in the sources tracked by Altmetric in the past 1 year. This is the result of a 'dumb search' for the keyword "immigrants" in all articles mentioned across all sources tracked by Altmetric during the past 1 year. Therefore data in the dataset will require manual refining depending on your interests. (For example the term can be used in relation to animals, not humans). The dataset is also likely to require deduplication. This dataset is shared as the British Prime Minister David Cameron has been reported warning that "illegal immigrants would be removed from the UK". This dataset is shared as a .csv file as a means to offer a bibliographic collection of academic/scientific articles including the keyword "immigrants" and to have a fixed data point documenting the articles with the keyword 'immigrants' tracked by Altmetric and their metrics as of 30 July 2015 at around 9:30 AM BST. The links and metrics included in the dataset were correct at the time of exporting the report. Metrics are expected to change in reports obtained at later dates. Hopefully the sharing of this dataset can encourage research into which of these articles about immigration are available open access and which ones are not, as well as the tracking of future changes in their metrics. With gratitude to Altmetric for enabling access to the data.

The number of people that arrived in Spain illegally by land through the northern African city of Melilla increased between 2016 and 2019. The number of irregular migrants that arrived in Spain by land through Melilla was estimated to be approximately *** in 2024, the lowest number of the period under consideration.

The number of people that arrived in Spain illegally by sea through this autonomous city reached its lowest point in 2024 with less than ** irregular immigrants. The number of irregular migrants that arrived in Spain by sea through Ceuta was estimated to be approximately *** in 2022.

The largest number of immigrants in Germany were from Ukraine, as of 2023. The top three origin countries were rounded up by Romania and Turkey. Immigrants are defined as having left a country, which may be their home country, to permanently reside in another. Upon arriving, immigrants do not hold the citizenship of the country they move to. Immigration in the EU All three aforementioned countries are members of the European Union, which means their citizens have freedom of movement between EU member states. In practice, this means that citizens of any EU member country may relocate between them to live and work there. Unrestricted by visas or residence permits, the search for university courses, jobs, retirement options, and places to live seems to be defined by an enormous amount of choice. However, even in this freedom of movement scheme, immigration may be hampered by bureaucratic hurdles or financial challenges. Prosperity with a question mark While Germany continues to be an attractive destination for foreigners both in and outside the European Union, as well as asylum applicants, it remains to be seen how current events might influence these patterns, whether the number of immigrants arriving from certain countries will shift. Europe’s largest economy is suffering. Climbing inflation levels in the last few months, as well as remaining difficulties from the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic are affecting global economic development. Ultimately, future immigrants may face the fact of moving from one struggling economy to another.
