Overview

Migration is a priority topic for the EU. It is a complex issue, which comes with opportunities and challenges. Understanding migratory movements and how they evolve over time is essential for effective migration management.

By making global migration data easy to access and use, the Atlas of Migration guides policymakers, researchers and the general public through the complexities of international migration.

The 2022 edition also includes a thematic section, which provides new insights on the displacement from Ukraine following Russia’s aggression.

The online tool accompanies the printed Atlas of Migration, and provides continuously updated data, visualised in the form of interactive charts.
