Tackling the root causes of migration

We examine the options that policymakers have for tackling the root causes of migration, defined as improving the economic, social and political conditions in places of origin with the aim of reducing aspirations to migrate internationally by making it more feasible and desirable to stay. We discuss root causes on the concept’s own terms, with the aim to make policy options clear, not to endorse it.
