Data years and limitations
- UN migrant stock and corridors: 2024; momentum compares 2024 with 2020 and 2015.
- World Bank GDP inputs use the actual observation years shown above.
- WTLG destination data reflects the current stored WTLG dataset and depends on covered WTLG cities.
- RMOS measures structural opportunity, not actual demand; migrant stock is not annual migration flow.
- Different datasets have different update cycles.
- This profile does not estimate provider revenue or demand for a specific professional service.
