There is no company register for Macao in the current build. Arrivals here come from dated study-then-work moves and from research and reference records (ORCID, VIAF, Wikidata), so company roles are undercounted.
Counts are people with a documented cross-border move: an official register's nationality or birthplace, ORCID/VIAF/Wikidata records, or a dated study-then-work transition. Name-based estimates and heritage (ancestral) readings are not included in these counts. Groups under 5 people are folded into "Other".
How many company officers abroad carry names that a name-origin model places in Macao. This includes people whose families left generations ago, which the documented counts above cannot see. These are expected counts, not people, and no individual is labelled by them.

Registers where the estimate fails, or cannot take, a check against recorded nationality are left out, among them Taiwan, Hong Kong, Virgin Islands, British, Ecuador, Myanmar, United Kingdom. † marks a host where most names point abroad; read its figure as ancestry, not migration. How this is estimated.
