List of countries by refugee population

Under international law, a refugee is a person who has fled his or her own country of nationality or habitual residence, and cannot return due to fear of persecution on account of his or her race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group, or political opinion, and is unable or unwilling to avail themself of the protection of that country, or to return there, for fear of persecution. These current or recent migration movements are caused by a variety of reasons. Some of the refugees stay in refugee camps, some are urban refugees in individual accommodations, some stay in self-settled camps and for some refugees the location is undefined or unknown by UNHCR.

By country of asylum

Below is a list of countries' refugee populations, excluding Palestinian refugees, calculated from available data. Information and total numbers might not account for very recent events, and as a result of these events, numbers are constantly in flux.

The numbers may be misleading. In some countries, refugees are often bringing in spouses and children, who may not be counted as refugees. Further after some years, refugees in some countries are given status as citizens or immigrants. In other countries all spouses and children and even children's children count as refugees.
