Visualizing Global Migration

Analyzing phone location data to detect work and vacation patterns:    • Breaking down phone location data  

I analyzed data from the UN (link below) to find out where people are moving to and from in the world today. I took all migrant groups of at least 100,000 people born in one country that now live in another, and showed them in the video with a flag ball. All sender countries that have at least one such ball are represented in the video, from the countries with the fewest emigrants, to the ones with the most.

I think it shows a lot about politics and history. But please let me know in the comments what you found most surprising or interesting!
