Legal migration and its skills dimension

This policy briefing discusses whether and in which way migration and skills could be beneficial for both receiving and sending countries, as well as the migrants themselves. It draws on the outcomes of an ETF project designed to highlight the dynamic interaction between the migration process and skills development through five case studies. Two countries with traditional emigration patterns (Egypt and Tunisia) and three Eastern European transition countries with relatively new migration flows (Albania, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) are analysed.
