analysis of international migration and refugee trends. Its
'Global Data Centre' summarises key migration data and trends
(pop size, arrivals, asylum, citizenship) in graphical and
numerical form by country (all European and North American
up to now). It also has a set of brief and accessible Country
Profiles summarising the history of migration and migration
policy (again mostly developed countries). Its refugee section
has statistics on forced migration and useful short digests
on refugee issues e.g. diaspora, development and conflict.
Finally, it has a searchable archive of news and articles,
which is a good first point of recent information on a particular
issue or country.
