World Economic Outlook, April 2025: Chapter 3: Journeys and Junctions: Spillovers from Migration and Refugee Policies
IMF
2025.04.24
The movement of migrants and refugees has become a fixture of public debate. Chapter 3 examines how changes in the stringency of migrant and refugee policies can alter the journeys and legal pathways people choose to take within and between economies. For example, stricter policies can deflect flows of people to new destinations. Those economies can experience short-term challenges from strains on local services but ultimately benefit in the longer term. Costs are likely to be more severe where challenges to integrate newcomers are larger―notably in emerging market and developing economies―and their skills are not well matched with local labor market needs. Benefits can materialize sooner by boosting infrastructure investment and promoting private sector development. International cooperation can also help by more evenly distributing short-term costs across economies.
