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.
