Publisher's Synopsis
If well managed, migration generates benefits for migrants, their countries of origin, and the countries they settle in. For migrants, it can help them expand their skill sets and improve their standard of living. For destination countries, it can alleviate demographic pressures and foster cultural diversity. For origin countries, it can bring benefits associated with remittances and knowledge transfers. However, in reality, these benefits are rarely achieved, because migration policy failures frequently lead to suboptimal or even negative outcomes. Realizing the full potential of migration therefore demands a paradigm shift toward the fair management of migration.
Fair migration is driven by the desire to achieve a triple-win for migrants, destination countries, and origin countries. In addition to outlining the key challenges and opportunities associated with fair migration, this volume examines the good practices of a variety of countries and institutions that highlight aspects of fair migration. This volume aims to enrich discussions among policymakers, business leaders, civil society actors, and scholars alike.
