Abstract

Since the 1970s, the link between migration and development has been
identifi ed as a major topic of political and scientifi c debate. As a sign of
a renewed interest in the issue, in 2009 the United Nations Development
Programme published its Human Development Report (HDR) with the
title «Overcoming Barriers: mobility and human development». Some of
the data in the HDR are reviewed in this paper in order to question
certain clichés regarding the relationships between international
migration fl ows and development processes. Our main conclusion is
that the link between the two is not one-directional, nor does it follow
generalisable patterns beyond the confi rmation that the countries with
medium human development are the most affected by migration, but
also benefi t the most from it.
