A drop in the ocean or a teaspoon in a teacup?

Image
As a volunteer, I often wonder how big an impact I am making on the problem. Volunteers have a good understanding of their immediate work and the people they are helping day-to-day. While that is very rewarding, sometimes I wonder how big the problem of hunger really is, and is my contribution (in the form of time or money) a drop in the ocean or a teaspoon in a teacup? I have found some good data sources, which I will study and present in the next few blogs. Today, we look at data from the UN Refugee Agency   - it has collected stats about refugees to/from various countries for the last 60 years. Here are some interesting graphs about USA. There has always been a stream of incoming refugees, with a large increase starting in the 2010s. In the last 60 years, there have been 4.5 million refugees. US population is about 332 million, making refugees ~1.4%, not counting children born into refugee families. These refugees get public benefits for 90 days, after which they are mostly on t...

Where and how do refugees settle?

Image
My last post shed light on the volume of incoming refugees, and people who have applied for asylum. A very small percentage of them actually end up being refugees incoming countries have a limit on the number of refugees they can take. For example, USA's limit for 2022 was 125,000 [ source ] while 250,000 people applied for asylum that year. These refugees settle in many different states - the top ones being Texas, Washington, Ohio, California and New York.   Source: https://immigrationforum.org/article/fact-sheet-u-s-refugee-resettlement/   In June 2022, I had attended a webinar hosted by the Newark Library highlighting the struggles that refugees and local organizations face when trying to settle Afghan refugees that were displaced when the Afghan war ended. They Bay Area local organizations were equipped to resettle ~70 refugees every 6 months. This number aligns with the graph above - if CA sees about ~1400 refugees per year, that is ~700 every 6 months - and Bay Area be...
