World Economic And Social Survey 2004 International Migration

International migration is one of the central dimensions of globalization. Facilitated by improved transportation and communications and stimulated by large economic and social inequalities in the world, people are increasingly moving across national borders in an effort to improve their own and their family's well-being. The present publication examines the background and the nature of the increase in international migration and its wide-ranging impacts, and identifies the policy challenges posed by these developments.Department of Economic and Social Affairs Staff is the author of 'World Economic And Social Survey 2004 International Migration', published 2005 under ISBN 9789211091472 and ISBN 9211091470.
