Despite considerable promise, international migration also poses some major dilemmas—whether arising out of security, economic, demographic, patriotic, social, cultural or human rights concerns. Nonetheless, international migration is here to stay: There is no indication that humankind—on the move since its early history—will refrain from seizing the opportunities that an increasingly interconnected world of expanding prospects has to offer. Migration will endure for at least as long as poverty and inequality affect a huge swath of humanity. The real challenge is how best to expand the positive contributions of international migration—especially when it comes to poverty reduction and development—while mitigating the risks for all involved.
