In dieser jährlich erscheinenden Publikation werden die jüngsten Trendentwicklungen im Bereich der Migrationsbewegungen und -politik in diesen Ländern analysiert. Der Bericht unterstreicht die wachsende Bedeutung der Zuzüge von hochqualifizierten Arbeitskräften, temporären Arbeitsmigranten und Studierenden. Ferner wird die verstärkte Zuwanderung aus Indien, China, Osteuropa und Afrika hervorgehoben und der Trend zu einer zunehmenden Feminisierung der Migrationsströme bestätigt. Ein weiteres Schwerpunktthema dieser Ausgabe sind die Beschäftigungssituation und die Erwerbsquoten der Zuwanderer, insbesondere im Dienstleistungssektor. Es werden Regelungen zur Verbesserung des Migrationsmanagements untersucht. Die internationale Zusammenarbeit zur Verbesserung der Grenzkontrollen und Bekämpfung der illegalen Zuwanderung wird eingehend analysiert. Außerdem werden die Auswirkungen der EU-Erweiterung auf den Zustrom von Arbeitsmigranten in OECD-Ländern evaluiert. Zwei Sonderkapitel sind den Themen Bildung und Zuwanderung im Gesundheitssektor gewidmet. Zusätzlich gibt es Länderbeiträge mit standardisierten Tabellen und einen statistischen Anhang mit den neuesten Daten über Ausländer und im Ausland geborene Personen sowie über Migrationsströme und Einbürgerungen.

The current share of women in the world's international migrant population is close to one half. Despite the great number of female migrants and their importance for the development agenda in countries of origin, there has until recently been a striking lack of gender analysis in the economic literature on international migration and development. This volume makes a valuable contribution in this context by providing eight new studies focusing on the nexus between gender, international migration, and economic development.

This paper examines the economic impact of international remittances on countries and households in the developing world. To analyze the country-level impact of remittances, the paper estimates an econometric model based on a new data set of 115 developing countries. Results suggest that countries located close to a major remittance-sending region (like the United States, OECD-Europe) are more likely to receive international remittances, and that while the level of poverty in a country has no statistical effect on the amount of remittances received, for those countries which are fortunate enough to receive remittances, these resource flows do tend to reduce the level and depth of poverty. At the household level, a review of findings from recent research suggest that households receiving international remittances spend less at the margin on consumption goods-like food-and more on investment goods-like education and housing. Households receiving international remittances also tend to invest more in entrepreneurial activities.

Since the revision of the Japanese immigration law in 1990, there has been a dramatic influx of Latin Americans, mostly Brazilians, of Japanese origin (Nikkeijin) working in Japan. This is because the revision has basically allowed Nikkeijin to enter Japan legally even as unskilled workers, while the Japanese law, in principle, prohibits foreigners from taking unskilled jobs in the country. In response, the number of these Latin American migrants has increased from practically zero to more than 250,000. The migration of Nikkeijin is likely to have a significant impact on both the Brazilian and the Japanese economies, given the substantial amount of remittances they send to Brazil. The impact is likely to be felt especially in the Nikkeijin community in Brazil. In spite of their importance, the detailed characteristics of Nikkei migrants and the prospect for future migration and remittances are under-researched. The purpose of this paper is therefore to provide a more comprehensive account of the migration of Nikkeijin workers to Japan. The paper contains a brief review of the history of Japanese emigration to Latin America (mostly Brazil), a study of the characteristics of Nikkeijin workers in Japan and their current living conditions, and a discussion on trends and issues regarding immigration in Japan and migration policy. The final part of the paper briefly notes the limitation of existing studies and describes the Brazil Nikkei Household Survey, which is being conducted by the World Bank's Development Research Group at the time of writing this paper. The availability of the survey data will contribute to a better understanding of the Japan-Brazil migration and remittance corridor.
