Mapping Bangladeshi Migrants in Europe: A 2023 Snapshot
This report offers a comprehensive overview of the presence of Bangladeshi nationals throughout Europe in 2023, drawing on a range of reputable sources. Data collected from Mixed Migration Flows to Europe, Eurostat, and the DTM Flow Monitoring Survey provide valuable insights into this movement.
The Flow Monitoring System meticulously tracks the arrival of Bangladeshi nationals in Europe via both land and sea routes. It also provides data on those who transit through the Western Balkan and Eastern Europe region.
It is crucial to remember that summing these figures could lead to double counting migrants who travel through multiple countries. To avoid this, the data should be analyzed separately.
Residency data for Bangladeshi nationals in Europe, broken down by gender and regional distribution, is provided by Eurostat. For those residing in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the UK Office of Statistics is the source of this information.
Finally, the DTM Europe Flow Monitoring Survey (FMS), conducted in six European countries during 2023, sheds light on the profiles of Bangladeshi nationals in Europe, illuminating the underlying dynamics behind their migration.
This report is part of the outputs of the DTM project “Regional Evidence for Migration Analysis and Policy” (REMAP). REMAP is an initiative funded by the European Union (EU), designed to strengthen the foundation of evidence-based humanitarian and development policies and programs related to migration and displacement.
