Abstract: A sizable portion of the global population is made up of migrants. Individuals migrate in search of employment, better economic prospects, education, or to reunite with family, while others flee war, oppression, conflict, or human rights abuses. Recently, negative impacts of climate change, natural disasters, and other environmental factors have become a contributing factor to migration. Such demographic shifts and economic, political, and environmental crises create incentives, known as push and pull factors, for individuals to migrate in search of better opportunities. This trend of cross-border migration presents both challenges and opportunities for policymakers of both sending and receiving countries. This note focuses on the aspects, tools and policies to be considered by the latter.
