Abstract

[While the international debates on migration and development have been in fashion over the past 15 years, the nexus tends to focus on South–North movements of migrants. This chapter, first and foremost, highlights that migration among developing countries and in particular intraregional migration are at least as important if not more significant than South–North flows. Existing evidence on the scope and size of South–South movements is discussed. Secondly, key emerging trends and regional hubs are presented. Thirdly, commonalities and key differences between South–South and South–North migration are analysed, without aiming to make generalizations. Reasons for the focus on South–South migration are explained, including donors that have influenced the agenda.]
