Evidence on education as a driver for migration
This report outlines the evidence on when and whether education services make a difference to people’s reasons for moving
Abstract
This report synthesises 2 previous reports on drivers of migration, and focuses on the evidence on education’s role. The previous reports focused on education and migration in fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS), and youth employment and education in low and middle income countries. The papers presented reflect these original criteria, but reframe the studies to draw out the evidence on education as a driver.
The report outlines the evidence on when and whether education services make a difference to people’s reasons for moving. This report includes rural-urban migration, regional and international migration, and migration away from fragile and conflict-affected states (FCAS). It does not consider migration that is primarily economic, whether regular or irregular.
