| Summary: | Despite the fact that the free flow of
people across borders is the lynchpin of today's
globalized world, more importance is usually given to the
unrestricted movement of capital and goods. As a
consequence, the effects of the financial crisis on the
issue of migration have largely been ignored by the
international community. The World Bank and other
international organizations are examining ways to mitigate
the effects of the financial crisis on migration and foster
productive dialogue and partnerships among both sending and
receiving countries, and the migrants themselves. This
article describes the effects of the crisis in the
Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS), proposes reforms
to mitigate its effects, and suggests actions to encourage
self-sustaining progress in the area of migration in the future. |
