@unpublished{mpra15112, title = {Taking Stock of Research on Regional Migration in Sub-Saharan Africa}, note = {Unpublished}, year = {2006}, keywords = {Migration; Remittance; Economic development; Sub-Saharan Africa}, abstract = {This study reviews a host of issues related to international migration in Sub-Saharan Africa and presents an overview of the state of the art of research and knowl-edge. Its aim is to identify policies and research areas that will improve understanding and management of migration in Sub-Sahara Africa and help maximize the potential benefits of migration, especially for poor people, while minimizing its risks and costs. The study covers a broad range of issues in the migration literature, but is not exhaustive. This report first provides a historical overview of migration in Sub-Saharan Af-rica and then examines the scale and regional trends of migration. It explores the intersec-tions between migration and labor market and the links between migration and develop-ment. It also looks at institutions and policies and investigates issues related to politics, ethics, and migration before exploring implications for further investigation.}, url = {https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/15112/}, author = {Nkamleu, Guy Blaise and Fox, Louise} }
