What this measures

Net migration, in people. Source: World Bank. For this measure, no agreed better direction.

Arrivals minus departures, as a count of people. So it is not used in any link here, for the same reason population is not: a net gain of a million means something different in Luxembourg and in India. The migrant share of the population covers the same subject as a share, and that is the one to read.
