Le potentiel de la diaspora comme source de développement économique et social dans le pays d'origine et le fait de savoir si elle peut contribuer à favoriser ce développement, dépendent de ses caractéristiques, telles que la taille, la composition, le niveau des compétences et le degré de concentration, mais également de son niveau d’intégration dans les pays d’accueil. Ces éléments sont aussi tributaires de la situation économique, politique et sociale qui prévaut dans le pays d’origine. Les gouvernements des pays d'origine et de destination peuvent en effet faciliter la participation des diasporas, en soutenant des réseaux, en améliorant les canaux de communication avec le pays d'origine, en développant un environnement propice, ou - plus directement - en facilitant la mobilité des compétences et leur utilisation. Autant d’éléments qui rendent cruciale la capacité de caractériser le profil des diasporas. Cette publication conjointe de l’OCDE (Organisation de coopération et de développement économiques) et de l’AfD (Agence française de développement) comprend 140 notes pays résumant : la taille des diasporas, en prenant en compte les enfants d’immigrés nés dans le pays d’accueil) ; les caractéristiques des populations émigrées (sexe, âge, niveau d’éducation, résultats sur le marché du travail) ; les effectifs et les principaux pays de destinations des étudiants internationaux ; les flux récents de migrants vers les pays de l’OCDE ; ainsi que des informations sur les souhaits d’émigrer des différents groupes de migrants. Les informations sont regroupées en six régions :  Asie et Océanie (chapitre 2) ; Amérique latine et Caraïbes (chapitre 3) ; pays de l’OCDE (chapitre 4) ; Europe hors OCDE et Asie centrale (chapitre 5) ; Moyen-Orient et Afrique du Nord (chapitre 6) ; et Afrique subsaharienne (chapitre 7). La situation dans chacune des régions est introduite par une description des tendances historiques des migrations, des principales diasporas originaires de la région, et des développements futurs et défis probables

This insightful work on rural health in the United States examines the ways immigrants, mainly from Latin America and the Caribbean, navigate the health care system in the United States. Since 1990, immigration to the United States has risen sharply, and rural areas have seen the highest increases. Thurka Sangaramoorthy reveals that that the corporatization of health care delivery and immigration policies are deeply connected in rural America. Drawing from fieldwork that centers on Maryland's sparsely populated Eastern Shore, Sangaramoorthy shows how longstanding issues of precarity among rural health systems along with the exclusionary logics of immigration have mutually fashioned a "landscape of care" in which shared conditions of physical suffering and emotional anxiety among immigrants and rural residents generate powerful forms of regional vitality and social inclusion. Sangaramoorthy connects the Eastern Shore and its immigrant populations to many other places around the world that are struggling with the challenges of global migration, rural precarity, and health governance. Her extensive ethnographic and policy research shows the personal stories behind health inequity data and helps to give readers a human entry point into the enormous challenges of immigration and rural health.

"Using sociological research with dying migrants and care professionals, Death and the Migrant describes the unfolding drama and ordinary predicaments of transnational dying in British Cities. At times of dying, lives are looked back on and memories and losses surface. For migrants and settlers, questions of belonging and 'home' can loom large. The impact of these novel psycho-geographies is also transforming care provision as professionals encounter varied cultural cosmologies and struggle to recognise and alleviate the accumulated pain of social exclusion and injustice. And amidst the churn there are extraordinary stories of generosity and inventiveness that provide new insight into experiences of dispossession and multicultural living, revealing shared human predicaments of how bodies of all kinds survive with frailty, loss and through interdependence. These are matters that bubble up as eschatological questions that ultimately speak to us all. 'Who am I?' 'How did I get here?"--Bloomsbury Publishing.

This report reviews recent trends in international migration, describing the size of current foreign-born populations across countries and analysing factors associated to the size and nature of these populations, reviews a set of important differences and similarities across educational systems and gives a brief description of population sizes across countries. It also provides an overview of the evidence emerging from PISA 2009 on the performance and socio-economic background of children of immigrants. Who are the children of immigrants? What do they know and what can they do? How do they differ from other students? Do they approach school and learning in a different way? It examines more closely the issue of assessment language proficiency among immigrant students and its possible impact on cognitive outcomes in PISA. It explores the effect of age at arrival on the performance of immigrant students in the PISA tests of literacy.Selective migration policies of certain countries and the attractiveness of these countries generally to highly educated migrants is also explored. It also discusses the future educational and professional career of the children of immigrant related to their performance in PISA. Does the skill and knowledge disadvantage at age 15 translate into a disadvantage in later educational outcomes? For example, are those children of immigrants less likely to access a post-secondary educational institution?
