Summary:

"Development on the Move" is a ground-breaking global research project gathering new qualitative and quantitative data about migration’s development impacts. The project aims to comprehensively assess how migration affects development in a number of different countries around the world, and how policy can maximise migration’s development benefits and minimise its costs. It is a joint project of the Global Development Network (GDN) and the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), UK.
