Global Migration & Remittances

The two forces that move labour and money across borders, in one clean Parquet: net migration (net inflow/outflow of people) and personal remittances - received in US$, received as a share of GDP, and paid abroad - per country per year since 2000, ~200 countries. Remittances dwarf foreign aid for much of the developing world and are a leading indicator of housing demand, consumption and FX flows; net migration drives long-run labour supply and city growth. The cross-country migration-economics panel for development, fintech (remittance corridors), proptech and macro research; joins to the labour, urbanisation and country-profile products on ISO-3 code. Worldwide - the emerging-market coverage that EU/OECD sources miss.
