The Korean diaspora consists of around 7.3 million people, both descendants of early emigrants from the Korean Peninsula, as well as more recent emigrants from Korea. Around 86% of overseas Koreans live in just six countries: the United States, China, Japan, Canada, Vietnam and Uzbekistan. Other countries with greater than 0.5% Korean minorities include Brazil, Russia, Kazakhstan, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia. All of these figures include both permanent and temporary migrants. Outside of Continental and East Asia, there are sizeable Korean communities that have formed in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
