The World Bank released a report titled “World Development Report 2023: Migrants, Refugees, and Societies”.
It proposes policies for better migration management in destination, transit and origin countries, underscoring its urgency.
The report discussed the migration trade-offs using a “Match-Motive Framework”.
The “match” aspect is grounded in labour economics and focuses on how well migrants’ skills and related attributes match the needs of the destination countries.
The term “motive” refers to the circumstances under which a person moves in search of opportunity.
Spain, has a population of 47 million, is projected to shrink by more than one-third by 2100.
Countries like Mexico, Thailand, Tunisia and Türkiye may soon need more foreign workers because their population is no longer growing.
About 184 million people worldwide, including 37 million refugees, lack citizenship in the country in which they live.
