  • Displacement-Pressure Signals (derived)

    Global displacement-pressure signals (UNHCR-derived)

    Yearly forced-displacement pressure signals derived from the UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database demographics (2001 ->): per-country totals hosted (HOST_<ISO3>) and originated (ORIGIN_<ISO3>), with 5-year change, 10-year OLS trend slopes, 3-sigma anomaly flags, 5-year linear-extrapolation forecasts, per-year cross-country ranks, global burden shares, surge flags, and top-10 host/origin flags. The humanitarian-flow companion to wb-poverty-inequality-signals and wb-demographic-transition-signals. All country labels normalized to ISO alpha-3. Raw data: UNHCR Refugee Population Statistics Database (CC-BY-4.0).

  • Eurostat Asylum-Applications Intelligence

    EU asylum applications, monthly (Eurostat)

    Monthly asylum-applications panel from Eurostat's official keyless dissemination API: asylum applications lodged per destination country and month, 2008 onward, split into total, first-time and subsequent applicants, with the first-time share of applications, month-on-month and year-on-year changes, a trailing-12-month total and a within-month application rank. Eurostat observation flags (estimated/provisional/break) kept verbatim; the first-time/subsequent split is honestly null where unpublished upstream. Who joins this: migration and humanitarian models join application flows on (geo, month) to reception capacity and displacement-pressure baselines; policy analysts track first-time applications as the cleanest flow gauge of new arrivals; macro and labour-market models use asylum inflows as a leading demographic signal. Eurostat dataset migr_asyappctzm ('Asylum applicants by type, citizenship, age and sex - monthly data'). Complements the catalog's UNHCR annual stock panels with fresh monthly flow data.
