10 Countries with the Highest Proportion of Immigrants

2. Qatar 

Percentage Of Residents Born in A Foreign Country: 77.3%

Qatar became rich a few decades back and now heavily depends on migrant labor for its rapid infrastructural development. Immigrants now comprise 77.3% of the country’s total population. However, its sponsorship-based immigration system, similar to Kuwait’s, remains a concern as it can suppress the labor force. Notably, following global scrutiny in the run-up to the 2022 Football World Cup, Qatar made a series of labor reforms to enhance migrant workers’ conditions.
