The lack of references in support of the statements in the text is somewhat surprising. In view of the popular interest in the topic, it is also surprising that little is said about the effects of migration upon the transmitting and receiving communities. Surely the extensive studies of those topics deserve further mention in the text? Nick Gardner 16:48, 30 January 2008 (CST)

Well, I suppose it is up to me to address this. Basically, the article needs to be restructured, maybe subpages used, and sections on economic issues relating to emigration and imnmigration added, along with economic develop[ment issues. I have just finished teaching a Masters course I devised on the political economy of international migration, so I have all the standard stuff to hand. Yet another thing for my "To Do" list :-( Any ideas on how to restructure this would be useful, though. Offers gladly accepted:-)Martin Baldwin-Edwards 18:55, 30 January 2008 (CST)
