Did you find something specifically that stated that children weren’t included in the data? I did not find anything like that in the sources.

The link to the source from “Our world in data” mentions how children are included in their research, and they have a link to the UN migration spreadsheet that includes children of all ages: https://www.un.org/development/desa/pd/content/international-migrant-stock.

I think they’re saying that children who are born in the new country should be counted as foreigners. Which is kinda fucked up but yea I don’t think they’re saying that children moving to a new country aren’t counted.

No, they are saying people will see and count them as immigrants

Children of immigrants are perceived as immigrants as well

Thanks for clarifying, I misunderstood what they meant.
