Migration and Development Framework and Its Links to Integration
Russell King and Michael Collyer Both historically and still today, migration is driven by economics. One of Ravenstein's famous laws of migration went simply thus: 'The major causes of migration are economic' Ravenstein's original papers were published in 1885and 1889. For an accessible and...

Towards a Broader Framing of Migration and Development
Over the past 20 or so years, two major paradigm shifts have affected the way we theorize and operationalize the concept of migration: these are the transnational perspective of the 1990s and the mobility turn of the 2000s, based respectively on foundational studies by Glick Schiller et al. (1992, 1995)...

The policy context is critical for how migration affects development in Georgia
Georgia provides a unique setting since international migration has been possible only since the country obtained independence in 1991. The research provides evidence of some links between migration and a range of key development indicators in Georgia. It also finds that public policies that improve...

Integrate migration and development into labour market policies
unemployment is a strong push factor for emigration in Georgia. labour market policies aimed at reducing unemployment will affect the migration decisions of households and individuals. It is therefore important to identify to what extent Georgia's various labour market policies affect migration. The...

Leverage migration for development in the agricultural sector
Despite agriculture's lessening share in Georgia's GDP, over 50% of the population worked in the sector in 2011, continuing to depend on it for their livelihoods and to climb out of poverty. The sector is affected by migration in several ways. Emigration reduces farming labour, though it can lead to...

What does the report tell us about the links between migration and development?
The findings of this report suggest that the development potential embodied in migration is not being fully exploited in Cambodia. Taking migration into account in a range of various policy areas can allow this potential to be tapped. The report demonstrates the two-way relationship between migration...

Integrate migration and development into labour market policies
The Cambodian labour market is losing its low-skilled workers to emigration, especially from the agricultural sector, which is facing labour shortages. Better employment opportunities and higher wages in other countries are attracting many people from Cambodia. The IPPMD survey found government employment...

The link between migration and development
While the regulation of migration flows has been characterised by a lack of international co-operation, there has been a growing interest over the last decade in migration and development issues. Such interest materialised in 2006 with the United Nations High-Level Dialogue on Migration and Development,...

While to some extent the impact of migration is positive (as remittances can take the pressure off the labour market and boost self-employment), better employment opportunities and higher wages are still attracting many people abroad, especially...
