The global migration potential in the world towards the§higher developed areas has been estimated to be about 80§to 100 million people. Most of them would like to move§permanently. It is expected that the numbers will further§grow in the medium-term future. Normally, the issue of§migrationis linked to the issue of economic development.§Economists, demographers andsociologists, among other§social scientists have made only limitated effortsto§understand the causes and consequences of migration and to§provide the basis for an appropriate policy-making.§The book collects eight contributions to the relevant issues§involved: Migration in a rational framework of decision§making; the performance of migrants; how they affect the§sending countries; rural-urban migration in developing§countries. The options for migration policy are also§considered. The book discusses newmethods to model these§problems, provides new empirical findings and gives policy§recommendations. It should be of value to economists,§demographers and sociologists.
