Factors shaping international migration flows are complex and hard to predict. This publication explores the social, economic and environmental forces that may attract migrants to the OECD and those that may persuade migrants to emigrate or to stay. By analysing pull and push factors and constructing migration scenarios, this volume endeavors to cast light on key questions. Which factors will be major determinants of migration flows? Which OECD countries will look attractive for migrants? What kind of migration-related issues will policy makers likely be facing as 2030 approaches?
