- Summary
- The handbook is primarily concerned with international migration, and with national development processes and instruments in developing countries. This focus means that it does not place much emphasis on internal migration nor on regional development planning. It also does not provide detailed guidance on mainstreaming migration and development concerns into policies of industrialized countries, although it does outline a number of steps industrialized countries can undertake to better integrate migration and development policies. Policy advice on these linked but separate issues are also available from other complementary sources.
