- 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.
