The 'migration-development' nexus has emerged as an important area
of both research and policy over the last ten years. However, most
of the interest has focused on the potential that migration holds
for poverty alleviation. Relatively little attention has been paid
to the relationship between migration and inequality, particularly
on inequality as a consequence of migration. This is unfortunate,
given that inequality is emerging as an important area of inquiry
within development studies. This edited collection explores the
relationship between migration and inequality in Africa, Asia and
Latin America by taking into account economic and social
inequalities. While the focus on inequality as opposed to poverty
is in itself original, the book offers additional points of
interest. First, it combines chapters on internal and international
migration, thereby challenging the current focus in the migration
literature that focuses almost exclusively on cross-border
migration. Internal migration greatly outnumbers cross-border
moves. Yet policy-makers as well as most studies focus on
cross-border international migration. We are only just beginning to
unravel the relationship between internal and cross-border
migration. Second, the theme of inequality complements the existing
focus in the migration-development nexus on issues of poverty.
Third, the chapters focus on both economic and social inequalities,
often combining an analysis of different types of inequalities. The
book also covers governance and migrants' rights; gender and
intersectionality; and health. The chapters in this edited volume
make an original contribution to debates on the
migration-development nexus as well as the literature on
inequality, which often tends to focus on economic measurements of
inequality at the expense of including a thorough analysis of
social inequality.
