Funded Activity Summary

Demography & Diaspora: Enhancing Contributions to Migration & Development. The replacement of permanent displacement by transnationalism as the dominant paradigm in migration has had little impact on demographic measurement and study of migration. This project seeks to rethink demographic concepts of migration to incorporate important elements such as diaspora, circular migration and transnational linkages. It aims to show how innovative use of traditional demographic data with a range of quantitative and qualitative research can yield important insights into diaspora. Case studies of six countries will be undertaken to increase understanding of the initiation, maintenance and significance of diaspora and its potential for enhancing development and reducing poverty in origins.
