Labor Migration Corridors
Status: Partially verified. Last reviewed: 2026-08-16. Coverage: 2010–2025.
Known gaps (4)
- Destination country breakdown incomplete for 2025 What to do: Do not sum or rank 2025 destinations from this breakdown.
- Return migration data not systematically collected What to do: Net migration cannot be computed from this pillar; cite outflows only.
- 2 of 10 destination-country deployment figures (Bahrain, Italy) and 4 of 7 remittance-corridor cost figures remain unconfirmed against the primary BMET/World Bank download (see in-code VERIFY markers in laborMigrationData.ts). Qatar, Singapore, UAE and Kuwait were corroborated against BMET's 2024 breakdown in the 2026-08 pass; Jordan and Oman were corrected there after being found materially wrong What to do: Do not cite the unconfirmed destination or corridor-cost rows without checking BMET and the World Bank download directly.
- BMET published a provisional 2024 total of 997,008 and later revised it to 1,011,856; the destination breakdown is corroborated to the nearest thousand against the provisional release while the total and Saudi Arabia row use the revised figures What to do: The total uses the revised figure while the breakdown follows the provisional release; do not expect the rows to sum exactly.
