Figure 8a: A choropleth world map showing the proportion of international migrants as a percentage of the total population in 2020. Regions with high proportions (over 15% of the population are migrants) include North America, Western Europe, Australia, and the Gulf States (such as Saudi Arabia and the UAE). Regions with low proportions (under 2%) include most of Sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia (such as India and Pakistan), and East Asia (such as China).

Suggest two possible reasons for the pattern shown in Figure 8a.
