Description
India's diaspora population is the largest in the world with 16 million people from India living outside their country in 2015, according to a latest UN survey on international migrant trends. The survey conducted by the UN department of economic and social affairs (DESA) said the number of international migrants — persons living in a country other than where they were born — reached 244 million in 2015 for the world as a whole, a 41 per cent increase compared to 2000. Nearly two thirds of international migrants live in Europe (76 million) or Asia (75 million), according to the "Trends in International Migrant Stock". "The rise in the number of international migrants reflects the increasing importance of international migration, which has become an integral part of our economies and societies," said Wu Hongbo, UN under secretary general for economic and social affairs. "Well-managed migration brings important benefits to countries of origin and destination, as well as to migrants and their families," Hongbo added. India has the largest diaspora in the world, followed by Mexico and Russia. In 2015, 16 million people from India were living outside of their country, a growth from 6.7 million in 1990, the survey stated.
