It presents a new global migration database and includes studies of the determinants and impact of return and circular migration, the impact of the flow of ideas on fertility, host country policies and their impact on immigrants, and the impact of international migration and remittances on poverty and other development indicators. The studies cover countries from Latin America, North Africa, South Asia, the South Pacific, and Western Europe, and show that the impact of migration on education and health tends to benefit girls more than boys, that its impact on labor force participation tends to be stronger for women than men, that return migrants tend to do better than non-migrants, and that fertility has tended to decline in countries whose migration has been to the West and has failed to do so in countries whose migration has been to the Gulf. The purpose of the case studies is to illustrate and clarify many theoretical mechanisms and to advance understanding of the impact of different migration policies, given that introducing policy variables in econometric regressions is generally difficult. Each study in this volume aims to answer a variety of development- and policy-related questions using the most appropriate of these three methodologies. These empirical studies and analyses include exploration of some novel hypotheses; they are also new in terms of the topics selected and the regions/ countries examinedCC BY 3.0 IGOADULT MENADULT WOMENALLOCATION OF RESOURCESASYLUMASYLUM SEEKERSATTENDANCE OF GIRLSBIRTH RATESBIRTHSBORDERSBRAIN DRAINBRAIN GAINBRAIN-DRAINCENSUS DATACENSUSESCENTRAL AMERICACHILD DELIVERYCHILD HEALTHCHILD LABORCITIZENCITIZENSCITIZENSHIPCONSEQUENCES OF MIGRATIONCOUNTRIES OF ORIGINCOUNTRY OF ORIGINDEMOCRACYDEMOGRAPHERSDEMOGRAPHIC TRANSITIONDETERMINANTS OF MIGRATIONDETERMINANTS OF MIGRATION FLOWSDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISSEMINATIONDROPOUTECONOMIC OBSTACLESEDUCATED MIGRANTSEDUCATIONAL ATTAINMENTEFFECTS OF MIGRATIONEMIGRANT REMITTANCESEMIGRANTSEMIGRATIONEMIGRATIONSEMPIRICAL ANALYSISEUROPEAN IMMIGRATIONEUROPEAN MIGRANTSFAMILY MEMBERSFAMILY REUNIFICATIONFAMILY REUNIFICATION POLICIESFAMILY STRUCTUREFEMALE LABORFERTILITYFERTILITY RATESFERTILITY SURVEYFERTILITY TRANSITIONFORCED MIGRATIONFOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENTFOREIGN LABORFOREIGN LABOR FORCEFOREIGN PARENTSFOREIGN POPULATIONFOREIGN POPULATIONSFOREIGN STUDENTSFOREIGN WOMENFOREIGNERSGENDERGENDER DIFFERENCESGENDER DIMENSIONSGLOBAL COMMISSIONGLOBAL COMMISSION ON INTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONGLOBAL POLICYHOME COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRIESHOST COUNTRYHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHOUSEHOLD POVERTYHOUSEHOLD SURVEYSHOUSINGHUMAN CAPITALHUMAN DEVELOPMENTILLEGAL IMMIGRATIONILLEGAL MIGRANTSIMMIGRANTIMMIGRANT FLOWSIMMIGRANTSIMMIGRATIONIMMIGRATION FLOWSIMMIGRATION POLICIESIMMIGRATION POLICYIMPACT OF MIGRATIONIMPACT ON GIRLSIMPACT ON HEALTHIMPORTANT POLICYINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINEQUALITYINFANTINFANT MORTALITYINFLOW OF WORKERSINSTITUTIONAL ARRANGEMENTSINTERNAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTINTERNATIONAL MIGRANTSINTERNATIONAL MIGRATIONINTERNATIONAL MIGRATION STATISTICSINTERNATIONAL MOVEMENTINTERNATIONAL TRADEINVESTMENTS IN EDUCATIONLABOR FORCELABOR FORCE PARTICIPATIONLABOR MARKETLABOR MARKETSLABOR MIGRATIONLABOR-MARKETLARGE NUMBERS OF PEOPLELATIN AMERICANLEGAL MIGRANTSLEGAL STATUSLOW FERTILITYMARRIAGESMICRONESIA FEDERATED STATES OFMIDDLE EASTMIDDLE EASTERNMIGRANTMIGRANT HOUSEHOLDSMIGRANT LABORMIGRANT POPULATIONMIGRANT POPULATIONSMIGRANT STOCKMIGRANT_ORIGINMIGRANTSMIGRATION BETWEEN COUNTRIESMIGRATION COSTSMIGRATION DATAMIGRATION DECISIONSMIGRATION FLOWSMIGRATION ISSUESMIGRATION PATTERNSMIGRATION POLICIESMIGRATION POLICYMIGRATION RATESMIGRATION RESEARCHMIGRATION STATISTICSMIGRATIONSMOBILITYMOTHERMOVEMENT OF PEOPLENATIONAL POPULATIONNATIONALSNATURALIZATIONNATURALIZATION POLICIESNATURALIZATION PROCEDURESNET MIGRATIONNORTH AFRICANUMBER OF FOREIGNERSNUMBER OF MIGRANTSNUMBER OF PEOPLEPACIFIC ISLANDSPERCENT OF MIGRANTSPLACE OF RESIDENCEPOLICY ANALYSISPOLICY IMPLICATIONSPOLICY MAKERSPOLITICAL INSTABILITYPOPULATION CENSUSESPOPULATION GROWTHPOPULATION POLICYPOPULATION REGISTERSPOTENTIAL MIGRANTSPOTENTIAL USERSPOVERTY ALLEVIATIONPROGRESSPUBLIC ATTENTIONPUBLIC POLICYPURCHASING POWERPURCHASING POWER PARITYREFUGEEREFUGEE STUDIESREFUGEESREMIGRATIONREMITTANCESRESEARCH COMMUNITYRESEARCH ON MIGRATIONRETURN MIGRATIONRETURNEESROLE OF MIGRATIONRURAL POVERTYSCHOOL ATTENDANCESERVICE PROVIDERSSKILL LEVELSSKILLED LABORSKILLED WORKERSSMALL ENTERPRISESSOCIAL CAPITALSOCIAL IMPACTSOCIAL NETWORKSSOCIAL UPHEAVALSOUTH AMERICASOVEREIGNTYSPILLOVERSUB-SAHARAN AFRICATEMPORARY MIGRANTSTEMPORARY MIGRATIONTRINIDAD AND TOBAGOUNDOCUMENTED MIGRATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT LEVELSUNEMPLOYMENT RATEUNITED NATIONSUNSKILLED WORKERSVIRGINVISASWARWESTERN EUROPEWORK EXPERIENCEWORK PERMITSWORLD MIGRATIONWORLD POPULATIONYOUNG GIRLSWorld Bank10.1596/978-0-8213-6935-7
