The issue of the consequences of international migration is of course intimately related to that of the interrelations between international migration and development. Migration effects can be examined at three main levels: the individual level, the family or household and local community level, and the wider national level. Varying effects are generally registered at the micro, meso and macro levels. For example, emigration of the highly skilled may have direct positive returns for individual migrants and their families (e.g. better standards of living and remittances), but may concurrently cause adverse effects for the national economy (e.g. loss of skilled manpower).
