South-South Migration ─ Emerging Patterns, Opportunities and Risks

South-South migration contributes significantly to the development of the emerging economies, the migration receiving countries and at the same time, generates a major share of remittance income flowing into the sending countries.

By capturing field experience and observation from a number of research studies, this book provides a robust catalogue of patterns, practical experiences, and observation from a number of research studies, issues, and challenges that are associated with this new phenomenon in international migration. The book also critically explores new theoretical perspectives by highlighting new policy directions for both sending and receiving countries relevant to making South-South migration more efficient, attractive and mutually beneficial.
