6. Extended Bilateral Migration Database, 2000 - Joint OECD - World Bank

The increasing importance of South-South migration flows makes it necessary to give more attention to immigrant populations in a number of key destination countries outside the OECD.
The OECD and the World Bank have therefore joined their efforts in a project aimed at extending the coverage of the database to a number of non-OECD countries for the year 2000.
 
The first results of this work are reflected in DIOC/Extended (DIOC/E, Release 1.0). The database currently covers 29 OECD countries as well as 26 non-OECD countries of which fourteen are in Latin America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, El Salvador, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Venezuela), six in Asia (Israel, Jordan, Kyrgyz Republic, Malaysia, Mongolia, Philippines), four in Africa (Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda) and two in Europe (Romania, Slovenia). 222 countries of birth are included.
The main source for the data is located at the OECD database on immigrants.
