Demographic profile of Palestinian migration

This working paper aims to present some demographic characteristics of Palestinian migration, including refugees both in and outside the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt) by examining the evolution of the Palestinian population since the late 19th century. In order to explore migration trends in Palestinian society, the paper also examines the differences in the demographic and socioeconomic characteristics between migration patterns and populations in host countries. Finally, the paper considers some of the desirable socioeconomic characteristics of future emigrants from the oPt.
