Author

Abstract

This paper will focus on the impact of the recent global financial crisis on migration. Section one deals with a brief introduction; section two gives an overview of migration trends before the crisis among the MENA countries; section three assesses the impact of the global crisis on international migration in the MENA region by industry, gender, and remittances; section four tackles the policies adopted in both countries of destination and origin to face up the crisis and to absorb the returning skilled labor. Finally, I provide policy recommendations.
