The countries that lose the most people from emigration, as Albania ranks

The movement of people in search of better economic opportunities, safety from conflict and improved living conditions is not a new phenomenon.

But tracking which countries are losing more people to net immigration (ie, having more people leaving than people coming into the country) often helps highlight the consequences of economic and political developments in the recent past. .

The Visual Capitalist platform has ranked the top 14 countries that had the highest net immigration in 2023. All figures are rounded and taken from the UN World Population Prospects 2024.

Albania ranks 35th in the world with a net negative number of emigration of 25 thousand, while Kosovo ranks 31st, with a figure of 29 thousand.

Top countries by net negative immigration

Pakistan had a negative net immigration count of 1.6 million people, the highest of any country in 2023. Other Asian nations such as India (-980,000), China (-570,000) and Bangladesh (-550,000) are also very high. in order.

Visual Capitalist lists all the countries (55 countries) that have seen a negative net immigration of at least 10,000 people, where only Albania and Kosovo are included from the region.

Sudan, located in North East Africa, has also had a very high negative net migration figure (-1,000,000), due to an ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF). . A spokesman for Doctors Without Borders recently claimed that civilians in Sudan were suffering "horrendous levels of violence".

In general, this data set can be divided between countries where migrants move for economic or political reasons (India, China, Pakistan) and those that are an active conflict zone (Sudan, Ukraine, Palestine). Of course many countries have a mix of both, with factors feeding into each other.

A look at the top 20 reveals that in the region, Europe (mostly stable high-income countries) is underrepresented. / Visual Capitalist
