Family migration is estimated to be the main and largest channel of entry for migrants, accounting for almost 50 per cent of international migration flows in countries Members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Family reunification has been proven to strengthen migrants’ contribution to development by increasing their well-being, promoting their personal development and ultimately improving their social integration. Despite this evidence, family migration and its impact on the family unit as a whole, as well as on development, have not yet received the attention they deserve from academics and policymakers.
