Summary
The Many Faces of Global Migration report is an introduction to what Gallup has unearthed by asking migrants and potential migrants themselves about their lives. The data presented in this report are based on interviews with more than 750,000 adults worldwide since 2005. As such, these findings provide an unprecedented look at the experiences of those who desire to migrate to other countries permanently or temporarily for work, those who are planning to go, those who are preparing to go, those who have already left, and those who have returned home. Our wealth of data also allows us to explore the different push-and-pull factors that influence migration.
