Migration theory

Festival d'Europa – draft proposals by the migration group at the RSCAS

Migration theory

This module is meant to provide the students with an introduction to migration: which is the aggregate size of migration, where do migrants come from and where they go to. This can help to dismiss some widespread perceptions (e.g. the current scale of global migration is unprecedented, migrants come from poor countries, migration flows are directed towards most developed countries). Then, we will provide an overview of the major demographic, social and economic determinants of migration, and on the barriers to human migration that are imposed by the legal framework for admission adopted at destination.
