How does education affect migration from fragile and conflict-affected areas?
Helpdesk Report

This report found that almost all of the information on education and migration from fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS) deals with integrating refugees into schools, providing schools in refugee camps, and/or using education to promote peace and tolerance. This body of literature often includes the educational level and status of migrants, but does not examine… Read more

Document Library
June 3, 2016

Remittances are an important strand in the relationship between migration and social change in migrants’ countries of origin and there is increasing interest in the role of remittances in conflict and post-conflict countries.

October 2, 2015

This study explores the impact of the brain drain on a source country’s welfare and development, which can either be beneficial or harmful.

Losses and gains to developing countries from the migration of educated workers
Document Library
September 25, 2015

This paper synthesizes and extends recent research on “The New Economics of the Brain Drain”. In a unified framework, the paper shows that while recently identified adverse repercussions of the brain drain exacerbate the long-recognized negative impact of the brain drain, longer-term consequences turn the brain drain into the harbinger of powerful gains. These gains… Read more
