Europe’s emigrant population

20 comments
  1. The rate of nationals living abroad is based on the total number of nationals living abroad. This includes people that have migrated many years ago, not just in 2019. Not all of these nationals are born in the country of their nationality.

    In short, the emigrant population consists of all people with the nationality of that country, that don’t live in that country (e.g., all Irish nationals that don’t live in Ireland).

  2. I think that this data goes too far in past. I would say that there are more Poles in UK than Germany, if we exclude migrants from communist times.

  3. Weird, I would have guessed more Germans live in Switzerland than the US. Or does this include the emigration waves in the 18th and 19th century?

    Also: haha, lots of Danes defecting to Sweden 😀

  4. Actually surprised at Germans and Swedes in the US. Then again, looking at stats German emigration in peaked in late 50s which probably wasn’t a rosy time in Germany compared with the US.

  5. Guys in switzerland *why the fuck* are you coming to Italy when we are the poorer ones and the ones willing to work for you? I don’t get it
