World · Foreign-born population

Total population born outside France: absolute headcount that complements the existing share metric.· 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.· International migrant stock: people living in a country other than their country of birth (or of citizenship where birthplace is not recorded), mid-year estimates of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs for 1990, 1995 … 2020 and 2024, published by the World Bank. The UN definition differs from Eurostat’s foreign-born counts shown on the EU country cards.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: World Bank, World Development Indicators· Published Nov 11, 2026
