Refugee host countries by wealth and population
Refugee host countries by wealth and population
I was curious how well wealthy countries do at hosting refugees.
The plots are interactive so its better to view them here: https://www.unhcr.org/refugee-statistics/insights/explainers/refugee-hosting-metrics.html
In the plot, the size of the circle is the number of refugees.
Germany is really doing an amazing job, y'all should be proud.
Compared to Chile, the US has 15x the population and 5x the wealth per capita but hosts fewer refugees. I certainly don't have the full picture but its not a good look.
Columbia hosts 6x the number of refugees as the US.
Germany is really doing an amazing job, y'all should be proud. The US is not (top right corner).
Larger circle is better? Or what are the criteria used for ranking?
The diameter of the circle is the number of refugees that the county hosts.
The wealthier and more populous countries are in the top right corner. The chart doesn't rank them but I think that in a more fair world the wealthy countries would host more.
