Net migration rate: This entry includes the figure for the difference

the year per 1,000 persons (based on midyear population). An excess of
persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration (e.g.,
3.56 migrants/1,000 population); an excess of persons leaving the
country as net emigration (e.g., -9.26 migrants/1,000 population). The
net migration rate indicates the contribution of migration to the

(if people are coming in) or reducing the labor force, perhaps in
certain key sectors (if people are leaving).
