Asylum Seekers' Applications from 1999 to 2016 Analysis Report

This data belongs to The UN Refugee Agency. The data was acquired from the UNHCR Population Statistics database. It presents information about asylum applications lodged in 38 European and 6 non-European countries. Data are broken down by month and origin. 

Where possible, figures exclude repeat/re-opened asylum applications and applications lodged on appeal or with courts. For some countries, the monthly data are available since 1999 while for others at a later period. 

In the 2014 and 2015 data, figures between 1 and 4 have been replaced with an asterisk (*). These represent situations where figures are being kept confidential to protect the anonymity of individuals. Such figures are not included in any totals. Due to retroactive adjustments implemented by States, totals in this dataset may differ from annual totals published by the competent national authorities.

The following lines are only some of the questions answered in the report:

Question #1: What are the countries of origin that the highest/least number of asylum seekers applications come from?

Question #2: What are the years and months that have the highest/least number of asylum seekers applications?

Question #3: What are countries to which the highest/least number of people apply for asylum applications?
