  Asia and the Pacific - 1.582 million registered Africa - 715,089 registered Europe - 570,534 registered Middle East and North Africa - 372,461 registered Americas - 2,460 registered

  These are really interesting numbers, I wonder if it has to do with immigration policies

    A lot of it has to do with racism and not allowing full citizenship rights to minority groups.

      Example of the above:

      In the lead up to the Rohingya genocide in Myanmar, the government published a formal list of every recognized ethnic group in the country to specifically exclude the Rohingya. This allowed them to paint the group as “illegal immigrants from Bangladesh” (despite having been in the country for centuries), remove their citizenship and thus their rights to education and work.

      A huge reason I’d assume is soviet occupants in post-soviet countries. Correct me if I’m wrong here, many of Russians from soviet era living in Baltics with no Russian citizenship and haven’t applied and passed local citizenship, are stateless. This is due to requirements like knowing the local language
