NEW STORY: What headlines don’t tell you about global migration, and what Stanford researchers can
More people than ever live outside the country of their birth—281,000,000 migrants. To put it in perspective, if migrants formed their own country, it would be the fourth most populous country in the world, after China, India, and the United States.

Stanford researchers affiliated with the King Center are at the forefront of research that seeks to answer those questions and many more.
