Migration and Development Nexus

The migration and development nexus refers to the relationship between people moving from one place to another and the impact this has on development in both their home and host countries. When individuals migrate, they often seek better opportunities, which can lead to increased remittances (money sent back home) that boost the economy of their origin country. Conversely, host countries can benefit from the skills and labor migrants bring. However, if managed poorly, migration can also strain resources. Understanding this connection helps policymakers create strategies that benefit everyone involved.
