This report by the World Bank examines migration as a key development challenge and provides a comprehensive analysis of its potential to serve as a force for growth.
The report proposes an integrated framework to best manage the economic, societal and human impacts of migration, which draws on labour economics and international law. This framework is based on a “match and motive” matrix that focuses on two factors: the alignment of migrants’ skills and attributes to the needs of destination countries and the motives that underlie their movements.
