NET RATE MIGRATION
What does Net Rate Migration means?
Well, this variable includes the figure for the difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year per 1,000 persons. An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration and excess of persons leaving the country as net emigration.
How do we represent this?
When a number of persons enters to any country is represented as a positive number, for example: 1,9/1000 persons immigrate to Ghana; and when is necessary to represent people that is leaving the original country is written in a negative form (-1,9/1000 emigrate from Ghana).
Now that is all explained, we can come back to our business. Nowdays, we can found that in the past 7 years the immigration figures have been kept in similar limits as we can see below:
