Development can be described as the search for a better life. This is also the main goal of migrants as they cross international borders to earn higher income, find a more secure and fulfilling job, provide better education opportunities for their children and protect their families from exposure to a range of risks. The close linkages between migration and development have been the focus of increased attention among academics, policymakers and analysts over the last decade. And these are the issues that the 9th Migration and Development Conference will aim to address.

The Migration Policy Centre at the Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies (RSCAS) of the European University Institute (EUI), jointly with the World Bank Development Research Group (DECRG) and the French Development Agency (AFD) is organising this 9th International Conference on “Migration and Development”. The conference is devoted to investigating ways in which international migration affects economic and social change in developing countries. Among the topics are the effects of migration on poverty, inequality, and human capital formation; social networks and migration; diaspora externalities; remittances; brain drain; migration and institutional/technological change. A selection of papers from the conference will be forthcoming in a special issue of The Journal of Economic Geography.
