International Migration and Development in Sub-Saharan Africa. Volume 2. CountryAnalyses

摘要

Population migration is a perennial phenomenon in Sub-Saharan Africa. However,its causes and impacts are highly varied across the region, and its scale fluctuates significantly over time as well as among the different geographic areas of the continent. One of the principal objectives of the review was to assess the broad development policy implications of international migration in Sub-Saharan Africa. Another important objective was to collate and facilitate access to migration information as a contribution to better understanding of country-specific settings in which World Bank operations are designed. The second volume summarizes, by country, demographics and migration patterns, migration policies, and selected migration and sectoral relationships for 42 Sub-Saharan African countries.
