NTA and Migration Working Group

Many of the countries we work in are experiencing historically large migration flows, whether those countries are seeing large outflows or inflows of persons, and whether those flows are driven by labor market opportunities or other factors. Often, those flows have a distinct age pattern, as those in their working ages are the most likely to migrate. The age-dependent nature of many migration flows means that NTA's focus on age patterns of economic activity may have a unique way of understanding the economics of migration flows.

The goal of this working group is to develop a set of NTA-based analysis tools that can help quantify the many impacts of migration on sending or receiving countries, and can serve as a way to model the impacts of migration shocks or migration-related policy changes.

Because this is work in progress and not yet ready for public consideration, the group is using private shared drives to store Working Group materials and create shared research and analysis documents. You can request access to the shared drive by emailing the working group coordinators listed below.

Coordinators: Jorge Bravo, formerly of UN DESA, currently an independent consultant affiliated with the Center for the Economics and Demography of Aging at UC Berkeley Gretchen Donehower, Academic Specialist with the Center for the Economics and Demography of Aging at UC Berkeley, and the Secretary/Treasurer of the NTA Association
