MigByAge: Datasets on Migration

In PPgp/wpp2015plusMig: Modified World Population Prospects 2015 Generated Using Probabilistic Migration

Description

Estimates and projections of total net migration and net migration rate.

Usage

data(migration)
data(migproj)
data(migproj80l)
data(migproj80u)
data(migproj95l)
data(migproj95u)
data(mrateproj)
data(mrateproj80l)
data(mrateproj80u)
data(mrateproj95l)
data(mrateproj95u)

Format

Data frame with one row per country. It contains the following variables:

country_code

Numerical Location Code (3-digit codes following ISO 3166-1 numeric standard) - see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_numeric.

name

Country name.

1990-1995, 1995-2000, 2000-2005, ...

Net migration (in thousand) for the specific five-year time period (i.e., from 1 July in year t to 1 July in year t+5 such as the period 1950-1955 refers to the period 1950.5-1955.5 and the mid of the period is 1953.0).

Details

Dataset migration contains historical estimates on net migration (in thousand). Dataset migproj contains the median projection of net migration. Dataset mrateproj contains the median of annual net migration rate per thousand population. Datasets with the suffices “80l”, “80u”, “95l”, “95u” correspond to the 80 and 95% probability lower (l) and upper (u) bound, respectively.

Source

Migration projections were produced using the Azose et al. (2016) methodology. Historical estimates were provided by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2015).
