The UN officially counts 232 million international migrants.
But the real number of international migrants and those in direct relation with them such as family dependants is well over a billion: more than 1 out of every 7 of us on the planet.
The earnings and remittances sent home —their own money— is already more than three times the total amount of official development assistance, (the World Bank says that the actual figure is much higher).
