International migration is a hot topic and*a global phenomenon that is growing in scope, complexity and impact. It can be a positive*force for development when supported by the right set of policies but performed unreasonably migration can cause short-term or long-term issue swhich is the case in couple of European countries.
Understanding global mobility patterns and its impact on countries is very difficult without a great map… but don’t have to worry about that any more as Esri has launched a new cool tool where you can visualise global migration country by country. The project is called*Global Migration Data*and it shows*estimates of the number of international migrants by destination and origin.*The data comes from the UN Department of Economic & Social Affairs for the years 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2013.
The map is very easy to use. On the top left menu you can select a country as well as its incoming or out coming migration. Below the map you’ll find a timeline where you can select*years you wish to visualize on the globe. On the bottom of the website you’ll find*the total number of migrants globally, per selected country as well as*the number of countries migrants are from or the number of countries migrants moved to.
Cool project and a nice show case of what can be done using Esri web tools.
