Migration
Migration and maritime security
Seychelles has committed to ensuring that it will create an environment where migration is taking place in a safe, orderly and regular manner.
Theoretical background
Although the environment as a driving force behind migration is not new to the literature, it is currently receiving more attention because of climate change and the frequency of extremely damaging disasters.
Introduction
Climate change poses significant challenges for the Philippines, with both slow- and sudden-onset events increasingly affecting communities across the country.
Migration statistics in Seychelles
The Migration Profile recommends strengthening migration statistics to capture all migration-related information (e.g. on immigration, irregular migration and emigration).
Irregular migration
Irregular migration is not a key concept used in Seychelles.
Mortality
Since 1950, the infant mortality rate, which indicates the probability of a newborn dying before the age of one, has decreased sharply in the region and is expected to continue declining, a trend that is also common in each country (see figure III.1 and figures A1.7 and A1.8 in the annex).
About the regional data hub
In line with the IOM Regional Strategy for the Middle East and North Africa, RDH MENA plays a central role in strengthening the evidence base on migration to inform strategic, programmatic and policy-level discussions across the region. Through a broad range of data collection, analysis and research initiatives, the RDH works to deepen understanding of the drivers, dynamics and impacts of human mobility in one of the world’s most complex migration contexts.
Decomposing demographic change
Population changes through time can be described using the basic demographic equation, Nt+1 = Nt + Bt - Dt + It - Et, where the estimated population in year t+1 (Nt+1) is derived by taking the population of the previous year (Nt), adding births (B ), subtracting deaths (D ) and incorporating net migration (I- E ).
Introducción
Las proyecciones y estimaciones demográficas son herramientas fundamentales para la planificación y el desarrollo, pues proporcionan un marco que permite prever cambios en la población que afectarán las decisiones de política pública y el uso de los recursos en diversas áreas.
Regional migration trends
Migration and mobility continue to shape the social and economic landscape of the MENA region.
Незаконный ввоз мигрантов: организованная преступность или услуга для тех, у кого нет альтернатив?
Следующая и последняя статья в этом выпуске Форума представляет собой интервью, в котором двух известных исследователей незаконного ввоза мигрантов — Клэр Хили и Габриэллу Санчес — просят ответить на некоторые из более широких вопросов, поднятых в предыдущих статьях.

International migration
International migration has remained a constant throughout Latin American and Caribbean history. The region received immigrants from the start of its colonization until the mid-twentieth century, when it became characterized by emigration: in fact, since 1950, net migration for the region has been negative.
Mortalidad
Desde 1950, la tasa de mortalidad infantil, que indica la probabilidad de que un recién nacido muera antes de cumplir su primer año de vida, se ha reducido de forma significativa en la región, y se estima que se seguirá reduciendo, tendencia que también es general en cada uno de los países (véanse el gráficoIII.1 y los gráficos A1.7 y A1.8 del anexo).
Executive summary
The MENA region remains one of the world’s most dynamic mobility landscapes, shaped by a combination of labour migration, protracted displacement, environmental stress and evolving socioeconomic conditions. In 2024, the region hosted 44.1 million international migrants, representing 9.5 per cent of its total population of 465 million. The MENA region remains a major region of origin (with over 40 million nationals living abroad), transit, and destination and continues to experience significant internal displacement, totalling 21.7 million people in the same year.
Presentación
El Centro Latinoamericano y Caribeño de Demografía (CELADE)-División de Población de la Comisión Económica para América Latina y el Caribe (CEPAL) pone a disposición de sus usuarios esta edición del Observatorio Demográfico, en que se recogen indicadores seleccionados de las estimaciones y proyecciones de población de 47 países y territorios de América Latina y el Caribe.
Foreword
The Latin American and Caribbean Demographic Centre (CELADE)-Population Division of the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) is pleased to present its readers with this edition of the Demographic Observatory, which includes selected indicators of population estimates and projections for 47 countries and territories in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Conclusiones
En el presente Observatorio Demográfico se analizan los principales resultados de la revisión de 2024 de World Population Prospects, en la que se consolidan avances metodológicos de las revisiones anteriores y se incorporan nuevos datos de censos, encuestas y estadísticas vitales publicados en los últimos años. Se muestran asimismo los resultados de las estimaciones y proyecciones elaboradas por el CELADE-División de Población de la CEPAL acerca de las áreas urbanas y rurales y de la fuerza de trabajo.
Conclusions
This edition of the Demographic Observatory analyses the main outcomes of the 2024 revision of World Population Prospects, which consolidates the methodological advances of previous revisions and incorporates new census, survey and vital statistics data published in recent years. The results of the estimates and projections of CELADE-Population Division of ECLAC for urban and rural areas and the labour force are also presented.
Migración internacional
La migración internacional ha tenido una presencia constante en la historia de los países de América Latina y el Caribe. La región recibió inmigrantes desde el inicio de su colonización hasta mediados del siglo XX, cuando pasó a ser una región expulsora de población: en efecto, desde 1950 hasta la actualidad presenta saldos migratorios netos negativos.
Executive summary
Fires in displacement sites are a persistent and dangerous reality for millions of people forced from their homes. Despite rising global temperatures and several high-profile incidents, fire preparedness and response remain critically under-addressed in humanitarian response. There is no global system to monitor or reduce fire risk in displacement settings, leaving communities exposed and unprepared for fire emergencies, with no way to understand causes or quantify damage.

Introduction
Demographic projections and estimations are essential for planning and development, as they provide a framework for forecasting population changes that will affect public policy decisions and the use of resources in various areas.
