Abstract

Migration affects levels of inequality between economies as well as measures of inequality within “origin” and “destination” countries. How can we make sense of the overall impact? From individuals’ higher wages and remittances through to “brain drains” and situations where migrants become trapped in low-income sectors, Lucinda Platt takes stock of the multifaceted relationship between migration and inequality.
