Migration Sociology Emigration and immigration

Contents:

The migration debate -- Migration then and now -- Managing migration -- Migrants and education -- Migrants and work -- Migration and development -- By way of conclusion.

Summary: About 190 million people around the world live outside their country of birth. These migrants bring energy, entrepreneurship and fresh ideas to our societies. But there are downsides: young migrants who fail in education, adults who don't find work and, of course, unregulated migration. Such challenges can make migration a political lightning rod and a topic for angry debate. Drawing on the unique expertise of the OECD, this book moves beyond rhetoric to look at the realities of international migration today: Where do migrants come from and where do they go? How do governments manage migration? How well do migrants perform in education and in the workforce? And does migration help--or hinder--developing countries?
