This book looks at migration in contemporary society and its
interrelations with development. It presents the complexities and
dilemmas associated with migration, the changes in theoretical and
historical perspectives on migration and development, and the role
of policies and the sustainable development goals in this context.
The volume views migration as a phenomenon for advancing human
development outcomes. It deals with wide-ranging issues including
labour migration, the idea of decent work, migration and
transnationalism, remittances, social networks and capital, and
addressing poverty. The chapters highlight the focus of the
Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and its relevance on migrant
rights, safeguarding livelihoods and health. They also offer
insights into regional and international co-operation on policies
for migration, social growth and protection, and citizenship. With
comparative analyses of data, trends and development indicators as
well as various case studies, this volume examines the impact of
migration on international relations and politics, labour market
outcomes, gender, youth and education among others. It also
discusses the loss of lives and livelihoods due to the Covid-19
pandemic, its impact on migration and the effects of the pandemic
on the contemporary discussions on migration and SDGs. Rich in
empirical data, this book will be an excellent read for scholars
and researchers of migration and diaspora studies, development
studies, refugee studies, public policy and governance,
international relations, political studies, political economy,
sociology and South Asian Studies.
