الملخص EN

The study aims to monitor the volume of internal and external population movements in Iraq during the period (2003- 2020), and try to identify the waves of displacement and forced displacement of the population and the extent of their temporal and spatial variation between governorates, as well as identifying the causes and motives behind them, and their implications, and at the internal levels, and external.

the data issued by the Iraqi ministry of migration and displacement was relied upon using many statistical methods that are among the basic components of geographical work, including the pearson sample correlation coefficient and the student coefficient, in addition to employing many other mathematical standards and indicators agreed upon between the audience of researchers and specialists in the field of population studies.

the outcome of the final study showed that the volume of outgoing immigration outweighed the expatriate during the period (2003-2020), as the number of individuals immigrating outside the country reached about (2,252,218) immigrants, amounting to (453,806) families, while the number of arrivals for the same period did not exceed (750,439) immigrants, amounting to (139,204) families, meaning that the total net external migration amounted to (1,501,779) immigrants, and about (314,602) families, i.e.

approximately (69.4%) of the immigrant families preferred integration and coexistence with the receiving societies.

on the other side, the results of internal migration revealed a wave of displacement and large migration during the same period, which described as the worst in the contemporary history of Iraq, as a result of the serious repercussions and effects it had on the present and future of society, as the number of internally displaced persons and migrants reached (7,611,780) migrants, which constitutes a percentage of (18.9%) of the country's total population in 2020.
