Migration Data

The OECD manages two different databases dedicated to international migration. The International Migration Database  provides with series for the last 10 years. The second one (Database on Immigrants in OECD countries ) compiles OECD population censuses data to provide comparable stocks of migrants by detailed country of birth and other variables.

The OECD also proceeds to methodological works on the standardisation of statistics on permanent-type migration  and on the estimation of the foreign-born population .
