DEMOS MIGRANT PORTAL
About the Portal
The Portal has a scholarly and non-profit nature. The purpose of the Demos-Migrant Portal is to collect and systematize interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary knowledge on demography and migration in one place. This project largely reflects the current Zeitgeist. It is a database of links on relevant topics, such as sociology of migration, economic theory and migration, law and migration, political science and migration, history and migration, culture and migration, etc.
Intended Audience
The Portal is intended for the academic community, researchers and professors of social sciences in the field of demography and migration. It can be used by government bodies in Croatia, Europe and the world, covering the field of demographic and migration policy and by political parties in relation to their own demographic and migration policies. Media outlets that publish content on demographics and migration can also find it useful. Last but not the least, the Portal is intended for citizens as a source of information on demography and migration. The Portal's databases will be used by each target group as a relevant source of information for scholarly research, teaching, as well as for shaping demographic and migration policies.
Goals
The first objective is the use of databases for scholarly research and educational purposes. The Portal gathers demographic and migration knowledge in one place which will make it easier for researchers to gather data. The second objective is the use of databases for making demographic and migration policies. The Portal grants free access to information that allows users to gain a thorough insight into demography and migration which should help them make better policies. The third objective is the use databases for a more accurate media coverage of demographic and migration issues. The Portal covers global scholarly, educational, media, and political activities which can help journalists to do a better job.

Migration trends in recent years
Atlas of Migration Knowledge for policy
The Atlas of Migration from the Knowledge Centre on Migration and Demography provides insights on migration for all EU Member States and 44 non-EU countries.
The Atlas of Environmental Migration
The Atlas of Environmental Migration is the first illustrated publication mapping this complex phenomenon. It clarifies terminology and concepts, draws a typology of migration related to environment and climate change, describes the multiple factors at play, explains the challenges, and highlights the opportunities related to this phenomenon.
Global Migration Indicators Report 2018
Prepared by IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), this report summarizes key global migration trends based on the latest statistics, showcasing 21 indicators across 17 migration topics.
Global Migration Trends
The Global Migration Indicators 2018 report is a snapshot of what we know about migration today. The data is organized along 17 key migration themes and based largely on data taken from Global Mi-gration Data Portal – IOM’s one-stop-shop for international migration data. The report aims to provide a baseline for objectives in the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration and migration-related targets included in the Sustainable Development Goals.
2019 International Migration and Displacement Trends and Policies Report to the G20
At mid-2018, the global refugee population stood at 25.7 million, including 5.5 million Palestine refugees under UNRWA’s mandate. G20 countries hosted 7.3 million refugees, representing about 36 per cent of all refugees under UNHCR’s mandate. About half of them were in Turkey. To address the challenges associated with forced displacement and humanitarian crises the question of solidarity and responsibility sharing remains at the top of the international agenda.
10 Trends Shaping Migration
Prepared by IOM’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC), this report summarizes key global migration trends based on the latest statistics, showcasing 21 indicators across 17 migration topics.
European migrant crisis
The European migrant crisis,[n 2] also known as the refugee crisis,[n 3] is a period beginning in 2015[11][12] characterised by high numbers of people arriving in the European Union (EU) from across the Mediterranean Sea or overland through Southeast Europe following Turkey's migrant crisis. It is part of a pattern of increased immigration to Europe from other continents which began in the mid-20th century and which has encountered resistance in many European countries.
Migration and migrant population statistics
This article presents European Union (EU) statistics on international migration (flows), number of national and non-national citizens in population ("stocks") and data relating to the acquisition of citizenship. Migration is influenced by a combination of economic, environmental, political and social factors: either in a migrant’s country of origin (push factors) or in the country of destination (pull factors). Historically, the relative economic prosperity and political stability of the EU are thought to have exerted a considerable pull effect on immigrants.
Asylum and migration in the EU: facts and figures
The arrival of more than one million asylum seekers and migrants to Europe in 2015 exposed serious flaws in the EU's asylum system. To respond to the migrant crisis, Parliament has been working on proposals to create a fairer, more effective European asylum policy.
Migration and the media
The on-going crisis across Europe poses a challenge for the continent’s alliance of democratic states. In every country the media is filled with images of migrants fleeing war, suffering, or losing their lives during their journey. Yet Europe’s response has been mixed and the plans for dealing with this crisis are even more uncertain.
Demographic trends in recent years
Current World Population
Population in the world is currently (2019-2020) growing at a rate of around 1.08% per year (down from 1.10% in 2018, 1.12% in 2017 and 1.14% in 2016). The current average population increase is estimated at 82 million people per year. Annual growth rate reached its peak in the late 1960s, when it was at around 2%. The rate of increase has nearly halved since then, and will continue to decline in the coming years.
Our growing population
In 1950, five years after the founding of the United Nations, world population was estimated at around 2.6 billion people. It reached 5 billion in 1987and 6 billion in 1999. In October 2011, the global population was estimated to be 7 billion. A global movement "7 Billion Actions" was launched to mark this milestone. The world’s population is expected to increase by 2 billion persons in the next 30 years, from 7.7 billion currently to 9.7 billion in 2050 and could peak at nearly 11 billion around 2100.
Population growth
In biology or human geography, population growth is the increase in the number of individuals in a population. Many of the world's countries, including many in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia, have seen a sharp rise in population since the end of the Cold War. The fear is that high population numbers are putting further strain on natural resources, food supplies, fuel supplies, employment, housing, etc. in some of the less fortunate countries. For example, the population of Chad has ultimately grown from 6,279,921 in 1993 to 10,329,208 in 2009,[1] further straining its resources. Niger, Pakistan, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the DRC are witnessing a similar growth in population.
World Population Growth
One way to understand the distribution of people across the world is to reform the world map, not based on area but according to population. This is shown below as a population cartogram: a geographical presentation of the world where the size of the countries are not drawn according to the distribution of land, but according to the distribution of people. The cartogram shows where in the world the global population was at home in 2018.
Population trends 1950 – 2100: globally and within Europe Key messages
The world’s population increased from 2.5 billion in 1950 to around 7.3 billion in 2015, and is expected to continue to rise until 2050/2100 under most UN projection variants. Assuming the ‘medium fertility’ projection variant, global population might increase to 9.7 billion by 2050, and rise further to 11.2 billion by 2100. However, if fertility and mortality rates stay at current levels (i.e. assuming the ‘no change’ projection variant), growth rates are projected to be substantially higher, with global population possibly rising to 10.2 billion by 2050 and 19.3 billion by 2100.
Demographics of the European Union
The demographics of the European Union show a highly populated, culturally diverse union of 28 member states. As of 1 January 2019, the population of the EU is about 513.5 million people.
Demographic trends in EU regions
The European Union has seen its population grow substantially – by around a quarter in the five and a half decades since 1960 – to a current level of over 500 million people. However, this population is now growing too slowly, and is even expected to decline in the longer term.
COVID-19 and Migrations
Five Ways COVID-19 Is Changing Global Migration
Population in the world is currentThe COVID-19 pandemic has changed human mobility for those of us washing our hands vigorously and avoiding social contact. But in addition to these disruptions to daily life, the pandemic could be fundamentally changing the face of global migration in at least five key ways. As I write this from a corner of my daughter’s room which has been converted into a makeshift home office, odds are you are also reading this from your home—if you are fortunate enough to have access to the internet at home and the option to work remotely.
How COVID-19 is throttling vital migration flows
Migration normally helps keep the global economy flowing. COVID-19 has mostly put a stop to that. Hundreds of countries have now implemented coronavirus-related travel restrictions and border shutdowns, creating an unprecedented impact on mobility. COVID-19 also poses a grave threat to the many people who were caught between home and their final destination when it spread – and are now living in crowded refugee camps where the term “social distancing” carries little meaning. According to one estimate, migrants contribute nearly 10% of global GDP. Now, everyone from a migrant agricultural worker relying on a paycheck in Portugal ....
Migration, mobility and COVID-19 – A tale of many tales
Only some weeks ago it seemed that the refugee situation at the Greek-Turkish border resulting from a failing EU-Turkey deal would have a strong influence on discussions about European solidarity and border management. Little did we anticipate that the media would be busy reporting on European border closures in a different context, allowing the (virtual) discussions between Merkel, Erdogan and Macron on renewing the EU-Turkey Refugee Deal to happen outside the main spotlight. While Merkel declared the deal to still be intact, EU member states have suspended any relocation, return and resettlement provisions due to the COVID-19 outbreak.
Migration data relevant for the COVID-19 pandemic
Migrants – particularly in lower paid jobs – may be both more affected by and vulnerable to the spread of COVID-19 in countries already impacted and those countries where the pandemic is spreading, but migrants also play an important role in the response to COVID-19 by working in critical sectors. As of 22 April 2020, migrants accounted for at least 10 per cent of the population in 10 of the 15 countries with the highest number of COVID-19 cases (UN DESA, 2019; WHO, 2020)1. Compared to the global share of international migrants making up 3.5 per cent of the total population, international migrants are overrepresented in these countries. In addition, as of 10 March 2020...
