Abstract

International migration offers a new field in which the results of network theory can be harvested. Through the migration countries’ networks (from where and to where migrants move), we have provided some of the most important tangible outcomes of network analysis in migration statistics.  The results of this research establish that there are hubs of international migration. Global migration destinations draw international migrants from greater distances. Migration connectivity between countries is constantly increasing. At the same time, most countries have few connections with other countries through migration, while a few have many connections. This network is interconnected by hubs with multiple connectivity capabilities.
