World · Asylum applications

Number of asylum applications filed, and the share granted protection.· Every series comes from ONE dataset: the countries Citoyen covers and the world total are read together, from the same source and the same release. « Rest of the world » is the world total minus the 19 countries covered (the European Union is left out, it contains France, Germany and Italy and would be counted twice). The six largest countries on the indicator are drawn on their own, the other covered countries are grouped. A year is drawn only when every country and the world are published: a missing country would otherwise land in « rest of the world » as a fake jump.· New asylum applications lodged in the year, by country of asylum (UNHCR, Global Trends definition: first-instance and appeal applications counted as UNHCR does). The world total is the sum of every country of asylum in the same download. Australia, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia and China have missing years at UNHCR: they stay inside the rest of the world for the whole series.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database
