The rate of emigration has continued to grow, reaching 280 million in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/publications/migrationreport/docs/MigrationReport2017_Highlights.pdf|title=International Migration Report 2017|date=2017|website=United Nations|access-date=4 June 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171223091939/https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/publications/migrationreport/docs/MigrationReport2017_Highlights.pdf|archive-date=23 December 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In Armenia, for example, the migration is calculated by counting people arriving or leaving the country via airplane, train, railway or other means of transportation. Here, the emigration index is high: 1.5% of population leaves the country annually.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Barsoumian|first=Nanore|date=2013-01-22|title=To Greener Shores: A Detailed Report on Emigration from Armenia|url=https://armenianweekly.com/2013/01/22/to-greener-shores-a-detailed-report-on-emigration-from-armenia/|access-date=2021-04-24|website=The Armenian Weekly|language=en-US}}</ref> In fact, it is one of the countries, where emigration has become a part of culture since 20th century. For example, between 1990 and 2005 approximately 700,000–1,300,000 Armenians left the country. The highly rising numbers of emigration are a direct response to socio-political and economic areas of the country. The internal migration (migration in country) is big (28.7%), while international migration is 71.3% of the total migration by people aging 15 and above. It is important to understand the reasons for both types of migration and the availability of the options. For example, in Armenia, everything is localized in the capital city Yerevan, thus, internal migration is from the villages and small cities to the biggest city of the country. The reason for the migration can be work or study. International migration follows the same reasoning of migration: work or study. The main destinations for it are Russia, France and US.<ref>{{Cite journal|title=Migrant support measures from an employment and skills perspective (MISMES)|url=http://www.migration4development.org/sites/default/files/mismes_armenia.pdf|journal=Working Together Learning for Life|access-date=2021-04-29|archive-date=2021-04-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210429113010/http://www.migration4development.org/sites/default/files/mismes_armenia.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref>
