Introduction
•3 % of the world population are migrants, i.e. 200 million people. The figure has doubled since 1965.
•However, only 9% of migrants from Africa settle in Europe – 47% migrate to another country in Africa
•‘Feminization of migration’ - increasing empowerment of women migrants
• Increase in migrant remittances – greater attention paid to the link between migration and development
