Description
The International Organization for Migration's research project on emigration dynamics in developing countries launched in 1993, brought together teams of researchers in four regions of the developing world: Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean; sub-Saharan Africa; the Arab region; and South Asia. This volume contains research from Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean where the direction, volume and composition of migration has considerably changed over the years. This is particularly noticeable in regard to irregular and undocumented migration and the proportion of women in many types of regular migration. Political instability and income inequality, violence and drug trafficking have been, and in part still are, major factors in emigration dynamics in this region.
Table of Contents
- The dynamics of Mexican emigration
- emigration dynamics in Mexico - the case of agriculture
- emigration dynamics in the Caribbean - the cases of Haiti and the Dominican Republic
- emigration dynamics in the Anglophone Caribbean
- Central American international emigration - trends and impacts.

Description
IOM's research project on emigration dynamics in developing countries launched in 1993, brought together teams of researchers in four regions of the developing world: the Arab Region, Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean; Sub-Saharan Africa, and South Asia. This volume contains results from the Arab Region where one of the most distinctive features of emigration from the region is the complexity of its underlying patterns. Most analyses in the past had tended to focus on one-way or two-way emigration patterns, few had fully recognized the concurrent phases, poles, types and forms of mobility. The research findings emphasize that emigration countries in the Arab Region should adopt an education and training policy that caters for the needs of changing domestic and foreign labour markets. Monitoring and analyzing the labour requirements of receiving countries would reduce vulnerability of the domestic economy to external shocks. It was also recommended that returning migrants be encouraged through management and technical support to invest in small-scale industries.

Description
IOM's research project on Emigration dynamics in developing countries launched in 1993, brought together teams of researchers in four regions of the developing world: South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab Region and Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. This volume contains research from the South Asian Region focusing on labour migration which was by far the most important 'type' from the four constituent countries (Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka). Competition between the countries, especially for employment in the Middle East had increased. Informal networks had played, and would continue to play, a key role in encouraging migration and 'helping it become a self-perpetuating phenomenon'. The research findings emphasised important differences in the economic/demographic bases of the four countries, Sri Lanka being the furthest advanced in demographic transition. Interrelationship between economic/demographic variables and government policies on labour migration, was most noticeable in Sri Lanka where high rates of economic growth are absorbing surplus labour, and a dearth of skilled workers may well impose constraints on economic growth during the next few years.

Description
IOM's research project on Emigration dynamics in developing countries launched in 1993, brought together teams of researchers in four regions of the developing world: South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, the Arab Region and Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. This volume contains research from the Sub-Saharan Africa Region exploring the economic, demographic, political and ecological conditions and policy implications. The research conducted in selected sub-regions strongly emphasized the complexity of emigration dynamics. Diverse stages of development, colonial heritage, ethnic base, rapid population growth, ecological deterioration and war, to become major precipitators of specific migrations. In parts of Sub-Saharan Africa many people were compelled to emigrate because political, economic and environmental conditions had fallen below a critical threshold. The research concluded that a Global African Migration System was needed for the region.
