Since 2000, IOM has been producing its flagship world migration reports every two years. The World Migration Report 2024 is the twelfth edition in the series and aims to increase understanding of migration and mobility worldwide. This new report includes key data and information on migration, as well as thematic chapters on current migration issues. The report is structured into two parts: Part I focuses on key information on migration and migrants, including statistics, while Part II provides a balanced analysis of complex and emerging migration issues.
The World Migration Report 2024 has been created in line with IOM’s Environment Policy and is only available online. Hard copies have not been printed in order to minimize paper, printing, and transportation impacts. Readers can access the report on the interactive page for the World Migration Report 2024.

It serves as a resource for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding the complexities of migration and mobility. By offering in-depth analysis and up-to-date information, the report contributes to a broader conversation on migration at a global level.
