The study’s empirical analysis predicts large volume of bilateral migration if there is a wider income gap between host and source countries or growing share of older population in host economies. It finds the complementary role of economic ties, especially through trade and value chain linkages, in fostering cross-border migration of people. Asia and the Pacific stands to gain from its diverse demographic profiles, as more countries transition to skills-based and knowledge-intensive economies.
