Migration and Population
|
Humans have always migrated as a way to improve their condition. Today, the flows of skilled and unskilled migrants from developing countries to other parts of the world are of intense interest to many policymakers. Though sensible migration and border policies may be a path to decreased poverty in the developing world, and stable labor markets in the industrialized world, few issues evoke such contention. New CGD research by Non-Resident Fellows Devesh Kapur and Lant Pritchett seeks to balance the claims to migration advocates and opponents by exploring the benefits and drawbacks of current policies, and by proposing development-friendly alternatives.
