Diaspora, Migration
and Development in the Americas
Migration from Latin America and the Caribbean
to richer and older societies is on the rise. Remittances from the diaspora have
become a significant source of foreign capital for the region. However, these
financial flows hardly compensate for the adverse effects of migration on the
labor-exporting countries, such as the brain drain and new health and security
risks.
