African Diaspora and Local Development

Meer over het boek

Migration presents a complex paradox for Africa, where young individuals often face dire fates, yet the diaspora contributes significantly to their home countries through remittances. The author explores this duality by analyzing a European survey of African students, revealing their desire for voluntary return to aid development. To facilitate this, the establishment and enhancement of supportive public policies are crucial. The text advocates for strategies like circular migration and decentralized cooperation to transform the brain drain into a brain gain for the continent.
