Immigration Experiences of Developing Countries
Monday, 27 October 2008 to Friday, 31 October 2008, 8am - 5pm
Bonn, Germany
Hosted by International Migration Institute
IMI convened a workshop on Immigration Experiences of Developing Countries at the 13th International Metropolis Conference
Questions about immigration policy and immigrant integration are almost uniquely discussed in the context of migration to wealthy countries. This coincides with a relative neglect of the immigration and integration experiences of developing countries. This workshop explored how states of developing countries have developed immigration and integration policies, and compared these with policies of wealthy countries.
