How this figure is calculated
Asylum-seekers by country or territory of origin divided by Population, total, 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 origin ÷ Population, total
Computed from
- Asylum-seekers by country or territory of origin Refugee Population Statistics Database, UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)
- Population, total World Population Prospects, United Nations (UN)
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.
