Policy Research on Migration and Development

Abstract

This is a survey and analysis-with commentary-of one of convergence or divergence. Very often the policy migration issues and the related development policies for issues push one outside what would be narrowly the sending countries. "Migration and development" is considered as "migration studies." For example, policies considered an unsettled and unresolved area for good to reduce the brain drain go directly to the issue of reason. The policy issues are surprisingly deep and run to educational reform in developing countries while policies basic issues such as the nature of development as to increase the developmental impact of remittances opposed to simple poverty reduction. North-north quickly carry one into the nature of business migration (between industrial countries), south-south development itself. Ronald Dore's ideas on educational migration (between or within developing countries), and reform are outlined as a policy approach to the brain north-south migration (from developing to industrial drain problem. Jane Jacobs' ideas on development are countries) are all covered although the paper focuses on outlined in greater length as they are little known in the north-south variety. Attention is paid to the question development economics and yet directly address the of the dynamic mechanism underlying migration being policy issues raised by migration and development.

Migration, remittances, poverty, and human capital : conceptual and empirical challenges

“…A more promising policy approach is represented by attempts to make migration and remittances "work for development". Indeed, a country can live off of remittances for a long time, but few disagree that the ultimate goal of these migration-todevelopment strategies would be to actually end the reliance on migration and remittances (Ellerman, 2003). This means, typically, creating incentives for more productive investment of remittances.…”

Cities, international labor migration and development: Towards an alternative research agenda

“…2 In other words, according to Jacobs, a lack of national development should be interpreted as a direct consequence of an insufficient number of dynamic city regions within countries. As also has been argued more recently by authors such as Ellerman (2003), the theoretical framework provided by Jacobs sheds several important insights on the more general relations between development, urban areas and international labor migration.…”

“…The literature on the development impact of international labor migration has a long-standing tradition, and has evolved according to several phases (Ellerman, 2003). In the immediate postwar period, based on the premises of the static neoclassical model, there was a certain optimism regarding the positive impact of labor migration on the economy of the sending countries.…”

“…Otras de las causas que suele considerarse importante para explicar los flujos migratorios es la frustración social de aquellos individuos que perdieron la lealtad hacia las instituciones y desconfían de poder articular una voz colectiva que promueva un cambio social (Hirschman, 1977;Alonso, 2011: 22); la emigración se convierte así en una válvula de escape de las crisis sociales y en una denuncia silenciosa de la falta de una respuesta colectiva (Ellerman, 2003;Li y McHale, 2009). En el caso de los nuevos emigrantes españoles, muchos de ellos están implicados de forma activa en diferentes movimientos sociales, como el 15M, Marea Granate o Podemos Ecuador, y participan en actos políticos de protesta, como los organizados por #NoNosVamosNosEchan 17 .…”
