The Impact of International Migration on Inclusive Growth and Human Development: An Empirical Analysis

Abstract

This report explains the connections between international migration and inclusive growth and provides direction to judges on how to investigate these connections using the data at hand. The authors provide a useful framework for evaluating migratory miracle in an examination of inclusive growth after reviewing the theoretical foundations of labour mobility and its role in participative growth. The framework aims to give interpreters direction on how migration affects growth and how it is distributed, as well as the essential research to determine the ultimate impact of current and future migration trends on inclusive and sustainable growth. It also highlights the tools that are widely used in inclusive growth diagnostics that is susceptible to migration as well as the strategies economists use to address data constraints and difficulties. The study concludes with a discussion of the policy issues and potential solutions revealed by the migration-enhanced inclusive growth analysis.
