Throughout human history, migration has been a courageous expression of the individual’s will to overcome adversity and to live a better life. Today, globalization, together with advances in communications and transportation, has greatly increased the number of people who have the desire and the capacity to move to other places. This new era has created challenges and opportunities for societies throughout the world. It also has served to underscore the clear linkage between migration and development, as well as the opportunities it provides for co-development, that is, the concerted improvement of economic and social conditions at both origin and destination. This month the SHRAM Bulletin focusses on the Influx of Migration in the context of the hardships faced by the migrants at the global level.

The first is their struggle to work their unproductive land despite small landholdings and frequent failures of rain. The second reality is that every year thousands among them will move away from their villages to search for a living. This is how they will earn their incomes, possibly save some of it, and bring it back to their homes as much awaited cash.

Marianne Haase, Pia Honerath

The primer rests on the assumption that conditions for sustainable return hinge on individual factors (for example whether return is voluntary or not) as well as structural ones (such as access to the labor market). Home and host countries face different situations and therefore use different intervention measures. Given the challenges migrants face during their process of return and reintegration, and the need to acknowledge the often untapped potentials of return migration.
