In my travels in third world countries, I've observed that the people are often tremendously proud of their national identity, and strongly connected with their culture. Emigrating is not a step people take lightly. Of course, if you take someone who's sick and starving and offer them a free lunch and medical care they're going to jump at the opportunity, but I am willing to bet that if in most cases they would prefer to get those things in the context of their own country rather than having to relocate.

It ignored all children and infants, including the huge number of unaccompanied infants. The outbound figures counted everybody, including children and infants. There was a net increase overall.
