A recent Gallup survey shows that Singapore is a top choice for migrants, local newspaper Straits Times reported on Thursday.
The Gallup results showed that Singapore's adult population of 3.6 million would jump to 13 million if it were to take in all adults who wish to settle in the country.
Using the Potential Migration Index (PNMI), the index is the estimated number of adults who wish to leave a country permanently subtracted from the estimated number who wish to immigrate to the country, as a proportion of the total adult population.
The higher a positive PNMI value, the greater the potential of net population gain, proportional to the population size.
Singapore appeared to be a top choice with the highest PNMI value of 260 percent, followed by Saudi Arabia (180 percent), New Zealand (175 percent), Canada (170 percent) and Australia (145 percent).
The United States was the most desired destination overall in terms of numbers where around 165 million adults would like to move there permanently if they could.
Other top destinations included Canada, Britain, France (all three with around 45 million potential migrants), Spain (35 million) and Saudi Arabia (30 million).
