Wars and migrations, UN: Albania has the third largest diaspora in the world

Albania holds the third place in the world with the largest diaspora, according to the UN, 30.7 percent of the Albanian population lives in the diaspora.

In regions where small countries are common, and distance is added as a factor, for example, in the Caribbean or Oceania, diaspora life is more widespread.

Of all sovereign countries with at least 750,000 inhabitants, the Caribbean nation of Guyana had the most significant share of its native-born population – 36.4 percent – ​​living abroad. Jamaica comes fifth with 28.6 percent. Considering independent countries of all sizes, island nations dominate the top ranking, with up to half of their population located elsewhere.

Polynesia was the region with the highest percentage of diaspora in 2020, at 28.7 percent, followed by the Caribbean at 17.7 percent.

Another group of nations that usually appears among countries with wider diasporas are those in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. After the fall of communism in the early 1990s, many people left in search of better economic opportunities, for example, Western Europe.

Luftërat e përgjakshme civile në vitet në vijim i shtuan këto efekte në disa vende. Kjo shihet sot në Bosnje dhe Hercegovinë, ku 34 për qind e popullsisë jeton jashtë vendit dhe në Shqipëri, ku kjo shifër është 30.7 për qind.

Vendet e përfshira aktualisht ose kohët e fundit në luftë kanë gjithashtu diaspora të mëdha. Kjo vlen për Sirinë, ku rreth 30 për qind e popullsisë prej 28 milionë banorësh tani jetojnë jashtë vendit, si dhe Sudanin e Jugut (21 për qind).

Vendet e keqmenaxhuara rëndë nga qeveritë e tyre përfshijnë Eritrenë me 18.5 përqind të diasporës dhe Venezuelën me 16.6 përqind. Një diasporë edhe më e madhe mund të gjendet në El Salvador me 20.4 për qind. Një luftë civile përfundoi në vendin e vogël të Amerikës Qendrore në vitin 1992, por dhuna e bandave ka mbizotëruar.

However, the largest conflict-driven diaspora is seen in the non-sovereign territory, as more than 45 percent of those born in Palestine currently reside abroad, according to UN figures.
