The refugee story in statistics

UNHCR seeks to contribute to informed decision-making and public debate by providing accurate, relevant and up-to-date statistics. By accessing the statistics site on unhcr.org, you will find data, trends, an interactive data visualization platform and statistical reports on the people of concern to UNHCR: refugees, asylum-seekers, returned refugees, internally displaced and stateless people around the world. Detailed information on country of asylum, origin, gender, age, location and legal status of refugees is available. Indicators on the quality of refugee protection and UNHCR operations are increasingly being collected.
