The core focus of this report is on documenting the trends of international migration and remittances in this region since the period of transition (chapters one and two) and discussing the determinants of migration in this region (chapter three). A final chapter (chapter four) reviews the organization of international migration policy in the region. It details the nature and types of bilateral migration schemes in place between Europe and Central Asia (ECA) countries and between ECA and Western Europe and identifies some of their limitations. The final section of chapter four suggests some avenues through which bilateral migration agreements could be improved.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGBALANCE OF PAYMENTBALANCE OF PAYMENT STATISTICSBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBALANCE OF PAYMENTS STATISTICSBANK TRANSFERSBENEFITS OF MIGRATIONBORDER MOVEMENTSBORDER TRADEBORDERSBRAIN DRAINCAPITAL FLOWSCAPITAL MARKETSCITIZENSCOMPENSATIONCONTRIBUTION OF REMITTANCESCOUNTRY OF ORIGINDEBTDEMOGRAPHIC PRESSURESDESTINATION COUNTRYDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDIASPORADISPLACEMENTDISSEMINATIONDISTRIBUTION OF REMITTANCESECONOMIC CONDITIONSECONOMIC GROWTHECONOMIC IMPACT OF REMITTANCESECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIESECONOMIC TRANSITIONEMIGRANTSEMIGRATIONEMIGRATION COUNTRIESEXCHANGE RATEEXTERNALITIESFACTORINGFAMILY REUNIFICATIONFINANCIAL INSTITUTIONSFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN EXCHANGEFOREIGNERSFUTURE GROWTHGROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCTGROSS NATIONAL PRODUCTHOME COUNTRIESHOUSEHOLD INCOMEILLEGAL IMMIGRATIONILLEGAL MIGRATIONIMMIGRATION COUNTRIESIMMIGRATION POLICIESIMPACT OF REMITTANCESINCOMESINDUSTRIALIZATIONINFLOW OF REMITTANCESINFORMAL CHANNELSINSTITUTIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONSINTERNATIONAL LABOR ORGANIZATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION POLICIESINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION POLICYINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL REMITTANCESIRREGULAR MIGRANTSJOB CREATIONJOB OPPORTUNITIESLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLELEGAL STATUSLEGISLATIONMETROPOLITAN AREASMIGRANTMIGRANT LABORMIGRANT REMITTANCESMIGRANT WORKERSMIGRANTSMIGRATIONMIGRATION DATAMIGRATION FLOWSMIGRATION PATTERNSMIGRATION POLICYMIGRATION RATESMIGRATION STATISTICSMOVEMENT OF PEOPLENUMBER OF DEATHSNUMBER OF MIGRANTSPERMANENT MIGRATIONPERMANENT SETTLEMENTPOLICYPOPULATION CHANGEPOPULATION CHANGESPOPULATION DECLINEPOPULATION DECLINESPOPULATION DECREASEPOPULATION DYNAMICSPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION INCREASESPOPULATION MOVEMENTSPOPULATION SETTLEMENTSPOPULATION SIZEPOTENTIAL MIGRANTSPOVERTY REDUCTIONPROVISION OF SERVICESPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SUPPORTPUBLIC TRANSPORTATIONPULL FACTORSPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYPUSH FACTORSQUALITY OF LIFERECIPIENT COUNTRIESREFUGEEREFUGEESREGULATORY FRAMEWORKREMITTANCEREMITTANCE DATAREMITTANCE FLOWSREMITTANCESRESPECTRETURN MIGRATIONRURAL AREASSERVICE PROVIDERSSKILLS TRANSFERSSUBSIDIARYSUSTAINABLE ECONOMIC GROWTHTRANSITION ECONOMIESUNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTSUNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRATIONUNDOCUMENTED MIGRANTSUNDOCUMENTED MIGRATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNRECORDED REMITTANCESUNSKILLED LABORURBAN AREASVOLUME OF REMITTANCESWAGESWARWESTERN EUROPEWORKFORCEWORKING-AGE POPULATIONWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6233-4
