Abstract

The renewed attention paid to the migration–development nexus by both researchers and policy-makers has predominantly focused on flows from South to North, whereas the consequences of South–South migration are under-researched. Furthermore, studies on the developmental impacts of out-migration on developing countries have tended to focus on monetary aspects and specific types of migrants. Katja Hujo and Nicola Piper address the missing linkages between various migrations, social development and social policy.
