Migration statistics

We contribute to improving the quality of statistics on international migration by developing common definitions and methods, and promoting them across the UNECE region. We aim to:

  • increase availability and improve quality of migration data derived from population censuses and household surveys
  • improve utilization of administrative data to produce international migration data
  • provide technical assistance to improve migration data by improving existing sources and increasing data exchange within and between countries
