World Migration Report 2022

2021

This report from the International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides a detailed overview of migration and the state of mobility worldwide. The 2022 report, which marks the eleventh edition of IOM’s World Migration Report series, presents critical data and research on migration trends and emerging migration policy issues. The report specifically considers the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on the state of global migration. Despite the pandemic restricting movement for millions of people in 2020, the report finds a drastic increase in internal displacement due to natural disasters, conflict, and violence worldwide, with the number of displaced people rising to 40.5 million, compared to 31.5 million in 2019. The report discusses several additional topics related to global migration, including the relationship between mobility and climate change, peace and development, human trafficking in migration pathways, the prevalence of disinformation surrounding migration, and more.
