International migration and development * (original) (raw)

This paper explores the complex relationship between international migration and development, emphasizing the shift in migration flows primarily from developing countries. It argues that current migration policies often overlook the need for global coordination and collaboration between host and origin countries, leading to political tensions and inadequate management of migration. The authors advocate for a more integrated approach to migration that considers demographic changes and workforce needs, particularly in developed countries facing skills shortages due to aging populations.
