- Summary
- Bimal Ghosh's new book, jointly sponsored by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) and The Hague Process on Refugees and Migration provides an analysis of the recession's impact on migration policies and patterns. The study examines changing trends in flows and stocks in new immigration, return migration, irregular migration, internal movements and the global stock. The decline in economic growth, including international trade, capital flows, development aid, and remittances is analysed as well as according links to joblessness and incomes, poverty and inequality, and changes in the labour force.
