Abstract

From a critical perspective, the study focuses on highlighting one of the methodological biases underlying the predominant approach to migration and development from receiving countries. Through an analysis of strategic indicators, various aspects of the migration-development relationship that have been overlooked and made invisible throughout this debate are brought to light. We argue that a system of indicators of this kind facilitates an objective and reasoned dialogue about the various challenges posed by contemporary international migration, while also providing a framework for the comprehensive analysis of these phenomena. Immigration enables demographic sustainability for social and economic reproduction in destination countries, a fact that is particularly relevant in the case of the United States.
