The table is pretty but it doesn't sort permanent versus temporary movements. For example I don't think the 1 million Pakistanis who've emigrated to Saudi Arabia will be allowed to get citizenship and settle which is quite different to other countries.

This is a good point and perhaps the reverse case: e.g. immigrants who have become citizens, would be even more interesting. For example the % of Americans foreign born is higher than this (I believe) but many have already received citizenship and are presumably not counted here.
