Description

In this episode, we explore key insights from the World Bank World Development Report 2023: Migrants, Refugees, and Societies. With over 184 million people living outside their country of nationality—nearly half in low- and middle-income countries—the report highlights how migration, if managed well, can be a positive force for development, bringing benefits for migrants as well as origin and destination countries. Tune in as we unpack the report’s integrated framework built around the “match and motive” matrix, which helps policymakers tailor migration strategies to the skills and motivations of migrants. From demographic shifts to economic integration and brain drain, we discuss how migration can be a force for prosperity.
