About
Mapping the linkages between development and migration.
Project Outcomes
- The drivers of migration are remarkably inconsistent. Factors that help explain migration from a birds-eye perspective across communities are often insignificant in many specific contexts.
- Development policies should not exclusively focus on migration management, but also maximise the potential benefits of migration for development.
- This could be achieved through remittances, the opening of regular labour migration pathways or by supporting diaspora engagement.
- A more comprehensive approach to migration policy should include non-EU countries, and it should view their development as a valuable outcome.
