Amidst mounting global policy attention directed toward
international migration, this book offers an exhaustive review of
the issues and evidence linking economic development in low-income
countries with their migration experiences. The diversity of
outcomes is explored in the context of; migration from East Europe
and from the Maghreb to the EU; contract labor from South Asia in
the Persian Gulf; highly skilled migrants moving to North America;
and labor circulation within East Asia. Labor market responses at
home, the brain drain, remittances, the roles of a diaspora, and
return migration are each addressed, as well as an exploration of
the effects of economic development upon migration and the
implications of long-term dependence on a migration nexus. Robert
Lucas concludes with an assessment of the winners and losers in the
migration process, both at home and in the destination regions,
before summarizing the main policy options open to both. This
accessible and topical book offers invaluable insights to policy
makers in both industrialized and developing countries as well as
to scholars and researchers of economics, development,
international relations and to specialists in migration.
