The Europeans migrate between areas, but stay within Europe. Most of Sub-Saharan Africa moved around within itself, although there was some migration into Northern, Southern, Western Europe, and Western Asia. North America had the most immigrants, coming from nearly everywhere. Areas with the least amount of migrants headed to the North America included: Europe, Central Asia, and Northern Africa. Emigrants out of North America either headed to Europe or South America.
It appears to me that the majority of Europeans are content in Europe with no desire to leave. The US has one of the largest number of immigrants, but a lower emigration rate. I never realized that Europe's emigration rate was so low, but thinking about it now, it is more understandable. They have no real reason to leave because they have resources and their cultures available to them, so why leave? I think the US has a higher rate of emigration than Europe because of mission work and also the desire to travel and experience other cultures. So much of the world's population moves around, whether it is in search of a change or the need for resources, medical attention, or simply a search for a better life, human migration is constantly happening around the globe.
