🚨Out today in @nature.com our new paper uses deep learning to map four decades of global human migration. By building the first comprehensive, four-decade dataset of annual flows (1990-2023), we reveal that global migration has nearly tripled since 2000. 🔗 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Global migration has increased from 13 million people per year in 2000 to around 35 million in 2023. The data, published in Nature today, come from the most detailed maps of global migration produced in the 33 years. go.nature.com/4uCpkxy
