Migration and poverty: Some issues in the context of Asia

There is fast growing understanding at national and international levels of the critical nexus between migration and poverty; but, as yet insufficient data exist to inform a coordinated policy approach (UK House of Commons, 2004).

But the actual respective impacts are relative and vary according to levels of development and the particular policy environment of the area under consideration.
