What is the net migration rate?

The net migration rate is the difference between the number of immigrants and emigrants in a specific population over a certain period of time. It is calculated by dividing the net migration (immigrants minus emigrants) by the total population and multiplying by 1,000. The net migration rate is usually expressed as a per 1,000 population.
