Abstract

It is well understood that “internal migration can play an important role in poverty reduction and economic development” (Deshingkar and Grimm in Internal Migration and Development: A Global Perspective, International Organization for Migration, New York, 2005, 5). However, sociopolitical dynamics often impart serious deprivations on both migrants and host communities. Instead of job creation and growth, the results are often poverty, exclusion, ethnic tensions, and violence.
