How this figure is calculated
Asylum-seekers by country or territory of asylum divided by GDP (current US$), matched on country and year. Neither publisher issues this ratio as a series; it is computed here from both.
Asylum-seekers by country or territory of asylum ÷ GDP (current US$)
Computed from
- Asylum-seekers by country or territory of asylum Refugee Population Statistics Database, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
- GDP Country official statistics, National Statistical Organizations and/or Central Banks
Statizoid computes this series; the underlying measurements belong to the publishers named above. The arithmetic is applied to every country and year where both inputs report, and nothing is estimated unless the page says so.
