In 1995 there were an estimated 27 million refugees worldwide; their resettlement and welfare is the responsibility of the United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR). An estimated average of 10,000 people a day become refugees. Women and children make up 75% of all refugees and displaced persons.

The Okies were migrants from Oklahoma who moved to California during the Great Depression in the 1930s seeking better economic conditions. Refugees typically come from countries experiencing conflict, persecution, or other crises and seek asylum or resettlement in safer regions.
Some countries close their borders to refugees due to concerns about security, economic strain, and social cohesion. They may feel overwhelmed by the number of refugees entering their country and fear that refugees will compete for jobs and resources, or pose a threat to national security. Political considerations and public opinion also play a role in border closure decisions.
The number of refugees arriving by boat varies each year. Factors like conflicts, disasters, and economic conditions influence the flow of refugees, and it's important to monitor data and reports from organizations like the UNHCR to get the most accurate and up-to-date information.

Refugees can be categorized into several types based on their circumstances and reasons for fleeing their home countries. The main types include political refugees, who escape persecution due to their political beliefs; economic refugees, who leave in search of better economic opportunities; and environmental refugees, who are displaced due to natural disasters or climate change. Additionally, there are asylum seekers, who seek international protection but may not yet have been granted refugee status. Each type reflects the diverse challenges and situations faced by displaced individuals.
