Abstract
Circular migration has been at the cutting edge of the migration and development debate in the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) since its inception. It combines the interests of highly industrialized countries in meeting labor needs in flexible and orderly ways with the interests of developing countries in accessing global labor markets, fostering skills transfer, and mitigating the risks of brain drain. Economists agree that the potential developmental benefits accruing from more circular movement of workers globally can be enormous, particularly where policies protect and empower the migrants, diaspora, and their families.
