Migration, poverty reduction and sustainable development

The migration-development nexus incorporates two elements: the ways in which development processes, including development assistance, can reduce pressures for unwanted migration, particularly irregular movements of people, and the ways in which migrants can be a resource for poverty reduction and sustainable development in their home communities. Gender inequalities in countries of origin interact with these elements: women and men are differentially affected by development strategies (Chant and Radcliffe, 1992), and women and men may differ in the ways or in the extent to which they act as resources for development.
