Current meetings of the Commission on Population and Development have brought attention to International Migration. It is expected that there will be 214 MILLION international migrants, with nearly 60% living in developed countries. Female migrants comprise 49% of all migrants and will be highest in Europe (52%). It is expected that this will increase 2% each year for the foreseeable future.
Internal migration, the movement of populations from rural to urban areas within countries, is also increasing at a very incredible rate.
The overall population of the world in 2010 is 6.8 billion; China 1.346 billion and India 1.198 billion the largest two populations of the world.
