Abstract

La gestion des migrations – problème complexe s’il en est – fait désormais partie des priorités des décideurs, dans les pays développés comme dans les pays en développement. Lorsque les flux migratoires – émigration ou immigration – sont importants pour la population d’un pays, pratiquement tous les aspects d’une économie et d’une société s’en ressentent : structures familiales, vie communautaire, systèmes d’éducation et de santé, marchés du travail, systèmes de sécurité, gouvernance et institutions. Malgré les difficultés inhérentes à l’élaboration de politiques, les décideurs prennent davantage conscience de l’intérêt d’une gestion améliorée de ces flux, dont bénéficieraient autant les pays d’accueil que les pays d’origine des migrants. Une gestion efficace peut en outre atténuer les risques associés aux migrations....

Abstract

Managing migration has become a priority for policy makers both in developed and developing countries; it is a difficult challenge indeed. Large immigration or emigration flows relative to domestic population’s impact on almost all aspects of an economy and society: family structures, community life, educational and health systems, labour markets, security systems, governance and institutions. Despite the inherent difficulties in policy making, there is a growing awareness that if management can be improved, important gains for both migrant-receiving (“host”) and migrant-sending (“home”) countries may be generated. Effective management can furthermore mitigate the risks associated with migration....

Abstract

This report evaluates the evidence on how migration may promote or hinder development in countries of origin, and explores possible win-win solutions for both sending and receiving countries. The analysis of recent OECD data of foreign-born nationals into Europe documents the presence of multiple migration patterns and reveals that the EU lags significantly behind the United States in attracting highly-skilled migrants who originate mostly from Africa. Reviewing the analytical and empirical evidence on the economic and social costs and benefits of migration and remittances for sending countries reveals that migration can generate substantial direct and indirect gains for sending countries via employment generation, human capital accumulation, remittances, diaspora networks and return migration. Policy coherence across various policies including migration, trade, investment and development cooperation can augment these gains. Major challenges for EU policymaking to maximise the gains from migration for both sending and receiving countries could include better management of migration and human resources, smart visa policies to facilitate circular migration and greater synergies between migration and development assistance programmes in the context of poverty reduction strategy initiatives.
