Abstract

International migration is a source of policy and research interest in many countries. This paper provides a review of experiences and findings from migration impact assessment worldwide. Various findings are briefly summarised in the context of a systematic migration SWOT analysis for five distinct domains of interest in the economy. The results from each SWOT analysis are then used as an input for compiling a 'strategic choice matrix' that is based on the views of a panel of migration experts. These strategic options are interpreted and discussed from both an analytical and a policy perspective.
