Abstract

Migration is one of thedefining characteristics of the 21st century. People are migrating to overcome poverty, escape conflicts or cope with economic and environmental shocks. Although the relationship between migration and development is increasingly recognized, it remains unexplored. Lack of opportunities and investment in countries of origin can lead to migration. Migration can also improve development and investment in countries of origin, fill workforce gaps and foster innovation in host countries, but also contribute to development in transit countries. It is an effective tool for reducing poverty, not only for the migrants themselves but also for their families and their wider communities. Through significant contributions to economic and social development, migration can be a key factor in achieving sustainable development goals. The 2030 Agenda is the first international framework that includes and recognizes migration as a dimension of development, which recognizes both the important contributions of migration to sustainable development and the specific vulnerabilities that migrants may face. The paper presents a brief analysis of the measure and structure of global migratory flows, as well as the relationship between migration and sustainable development in the 2030 Agenda and the impact of migration on key development outcomes.
