Department of Economic and Social Affairs said the percentage living in high-income countries rose from 9.6 per cent in 2000 to 14 per cent in 2017, according to The Chronicle Herald. Reliable data and evidence are critical to combat misperceptions about migration and to inform migration policies, said Undersecretary-General for Economic and Social Affairs Liu Zhenmin. The biennial report released on International Migrants Day said the percentage of the world's people who are international migrants has increased modestly from 2.8 per cent in 2000 to 3.4 per cent this year.
