SOURCES: Thousands of asylum seekers coming into a nation in 2001.; Total number of asylum seekers between the years 1980 and 1989.; % of asylum seekers accepted between the years 1980 and 1989.; % of asylum seekers accepted between the years 1990 and 1999.; Foreign population as % of total population; data for 2000; Inflows of foreign population into selected OECD countries in 2000. Data from population registers are not fully comparable because the criteria governing who gets registered differ from country to country. Counts for the Netherlands, Norway and especially Germany include substantial numbers of asylum seekers. For more details on sources, refer to the notes at the end of the Annex to the OECD statistics.; Outflow of foreign population, in thousands of people. Data for 2000.; ; Migration stock is the number of people born in a country other than that in which they live. It also includes refugees.; The difference between the number of persons entering and leaving a country during the year per 1,000 persons (based on midyear population). An excess of persons entering the country is referred to as net immigration (e.g., 3.56 migrants/1,000 population); an excess of persons leaving the country as net emigration (e.g., -9.26 migrants/1,000 population). The net migration rate indicates the contribution of migration to the overall level of population change. High levels of migration can cause problems such as increasing unemployment and potential ethnic strife (if people are coming in) or a reduction in the labor force, perhaps in certain key sectors (if people are leaving). ; Thousands of people who acquired nationality in 2000. Statistics cover all means of acquiring the nationality of a country, except where otherwise indicated. These include standard naturalisation procedures subject to age, residency, etc. criteria, as well as situations where nationality is acquired through a declaration or by option (following marriage, adoption, or other situations related to residency or descent), recovery of former nationality and other special means of acquiring the nationality of a country. For more details on sources, refer to the notes at the end of the OECD Annex.; Refugees (number in each country, 1990-99); Date of ratification of the United Nations Convention relating to the Status of Refugees. "a" denotes accession. "d" denotes succession.; Number of refugees accepted by each country between the years 1990 and 1999.; The annual United States Diversity Visa program makes permanent residence visas available to persons meeting the strict eligibility requirements. Applicants for Diversity Visas are chosen by a computer-generated random lottery drawing. The visas are distr
