The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s (OECD) published International Migration Outlook 2015.

It shows migration to OECD countries.

One in ten new immigrants to developed countries in 2013 was from China

India made up only 4.4 per cent of new migrants and was in fourth position after Poland and Romania.

Indian remains the world’s top supplier of emigrant doctors (87,000 as of 2010-11) and the second-largest origin country of nurses (70,000). The United States is the main home for both Indian-origin doctors and nurses, followed by the United Kingdom.

Six per cent of international students in 2012 were also from India, a decline from the recent past.

In 2014, the number of new asylum seekers in OECD countries rose by 46 per cent.

Syrian asylum-seekers accounted for one-third of the increase, and Germany saw the largest number of asylum applications.
