  • Indian Nationals Acquiring OECD Nationality:  0.13 million Indian citizens acquired the nationality of an OECD country in 2021.
    • As in previous years, these acquisitions took place mostly in the United States (56,000), Australia (24,000) and Canada (21,000). 
  • Impact of Russia-Ukraine War: Inflows of refugees from Ukraine reached the highest level on record, OECD-wide, due to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war; more than 10 million people have become either internally displaced or refugees in the OECD region.
  • Workers migration: In terms of workers, migration flows from India (+172 per cent), Uzbekistan (+122 per cent) and Turkey (+240 per cent) rose sharply, making them primary countries of origin after Ukraine.
Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)

  • Headquarters:  Château de la Muette in Paris, France
