The Crisis and Its Impact on the Pattern of Migration: Changing Trends in Flows and Stocks

Chapter 3 in The Global Economic Crisis and the Future of Migration: Issues and Prospects, 2013, pp 75-106 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The economic and social ramifications of the present crisis, especially its ravages in the job markets, as discussed in the preceding chapters, were having a significant impact on the future configuration of international migration. However, at the time of this writing, the continuing uncertainty about the shape of future recovery makes it difficult to foresee clearly its effects on migration. The difficulty stems also from the relative paucity of detailed information about what actually happened to migration during the past economic crises. The fact that, as already discussed, the contextual circumstances governing past crises vary widely only adds to this difficulty.
