Abstract

What will global migration look like 30–35 years from now? As mentioned in the Introduction, many analysts seem to believe or implicitly assume that once the crisis is over, world migration will continue to flow as in the past, with little changes in its future configuration. This static view is based on the hypothesis that the economic and demographic asymmetry between countries, which have been the main drivers of migration, especially, South-North flows, will remain the same. The view, even if partly true, is largely flawed. This is because it ignores the significant shifts that are taking place in these asymmetries and their impact on the future pattern of world migration.
