be found if data on gross flows were available.

49 According to the 2009 UNDP Human Development Report, “A report by
the ILO counted 33 million foreign nationals in 1910, equivalent to 2.5%
of the population covered by the study (which was 76% of the world
population at the time); the share of migrants in the world population
(excluding the former Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia for comparability
because their breakups caused people to become reclassified as migrants
without actual movement) grew from 2.7% to 2.8% between 1960 and
2010 (p. 30)”; The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reports
that migrants formed 2.5% of the world population in 1960 and 3.1% in
2010 (International Organization for Migration (IOM). “World Migration
Report 2005: Costs and Benefits of International Migration.” IOM World
Migration Report Series 3 (2005), 379. http://publications.iom.int/bookstore/free/wmr_2005.pdf.).

44 Estimate generated by averaging first across estimates from different
studies for each country and then averaging across countries, considering
Taiwan (China) and Hong Kong SAR (China) as separate data points
from mainland China, and excluding the Arab TV (because this datapoint
could not be disaggregated to the level of individual countries). The
data sources employed were: Toril Aalberg, Stylianos Papathanassopoulos,
