Number of refugees living in the country at the end of the year, according to UNHCR (refugees under its mandate, people in a refugee-like situation included).· 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.· Refugees and people in refugee-like situations under UNHCR’s mandate, at the end of each year, by country of asylum (UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database). The world total is the sum of every country of asylum in the same download. Palestine refugees under UNRWA’s mandate, asylum seekers and internally displaced people are not counted.· Licence : Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 · source: UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database
