Virtually any commodity can move around the world to satisfy demand but human beings have far less freedom. Many would-be migrants are forced to risk life and limb travelling illegally. Yet most rich countries are short of workers, have shrinking populations and need more immigrants. This is a timely and rational guide to a major issue that is always in the headlines.

The No-Nonsense Guide to International Migration unravels the global migration paradoxes, explaining the economic and social issues behind the flows of people.
