Can migration aid development?

Migration influences demographic change. But it also shapes the development trajectories of societies and regions around the world

Paul Hopper here provides a useful discussion on the complex relationship between economic migration and development. He explains how economic migration from less economically developed countries can both hinder and aid the country of origin. He considers how certain policy changes on the part of the developed Northern countries could work to benefit the economies of the developing South, while pointing out the barriers to such changes. This material is particularly helpful to students taking the ‘Global development’/‘Globalisation’ topics.
