Description
This second research volume produced adds to first volume by expanding the number of countries covered, and by providing thinking on new topics in the field of international migration. The present volume presents nine additional studies covering countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, North America, South Asia and the Pacific, as well as Western Europe. Part I consists of four chapters. The first three chapters examine the impact of migration and remittances on development indicators in Pakistan and twelve Latin American and Caribbean countries, while Chapter 4 examines an entirely new topic, namely the impact of international migration on birth rates and the extent of the demographic transition in the migrants' countries of origin, with focus on Egypt, Morocco and Turkey. Part II consists of three chapters dealing with host country policies and their impact on migrants (Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland). Part III comprises two chapters.
The first one examines the determinants of return and repeat migration in Norway, and the second looks at the degree of success and the occupational choice of return migrants relative to similar individuals who did not migrate in the case of Egypt.
