What This Asylum Origin Figure Means

This game compares asylum-seekers relative to the population of their country of origin.

  • The numerator is the World Bank indicator for asylum-seekers by country of origin.
  • The game scales that count per 1,000 residents using total population.
  • Raw counts tell you which countries are big. Per-capita outflow tells you where ordinary life is being exited at scale.

A country can lose people quietly long before the headlines call it a crisis.
