Global Responsibility and The Future of Migration

Abstract

Migration has always played a significant role in shaping societies and cultures. Migration today plays a crucial role in shaping the global agenda on sustainable development and the quest for decent work opportunities. As the world becomes more interconnected, it is essential for policy-makers to view migration as an opportunity rather than a threat. Migration is not just a national issue, but a global responsibility. By adopting a comprehensive approach that takes into account the link between migration and development, we can harness its potential to expand economic opportunities, reduce poverty, and accelerate the diffusion of new ideas and technologies. Furthermore, youth migration is a critical factor in human capital accumulation for future generations and should be seen as a driving force for social and economic growth. In this chapter, the authors delve into the various factors driving migration, the challenges faced by refugees, and the impact of migration on both the countries of origin and destination.
