Managing Labor Migration in the Twenty-First Century

Abstract

Why have ninety million workers around the globe left their homes for employment in other countries? What can be done to ensure that international labor migration is a force for global betterment? This book presents a comprehensive analysis of the causes and effects of labor migration, and recommends sensible, sustainable migration policies that are fair to migrants, and to the countries which open their doors to them. The authors survey recent trends in international migration for employment, and demonstrate that the flow of authorized and illegal workers over borders presents a formidable challenge in countries and regions throughout the world. They note that not all migration is from undeveloped to developed countries, and discuss the murky relations between immigration policies and politics. The book concludes with specific recommendations for justly managing the world's growing migrant workforce.
