Debunking migration myths: the real reasons people move, and why most migration happens in the global south – podcast

Retrieved on: 
Thursday, June 29, 2023

Governments are making it more difficult to move, especially for certain groups of vulnerable people.

Key Points: 
  • Governments are making it more difficult to move, especially for certain groups of vulnerable people.
  • But evidence shows that much of what we think about migration – particularly those of us in Europe, North America and Australia – is wrong.
  • Political narratives, often replicated in the media, shape the conversation and public attitudes toward migration.

Challenging the narrative

    • Then, the breakup of the former Yugoslavia caused what was often referred to as a refugee “crisis” in Europe.
    • Language like “crisis” has been a part of the discourse on migration for years.
    • But Crawley thinks of this in a particular way: “It’s absolutely fair to say that there is a crisis associated with migration.
    • She explained how, in Europe especially, perceptions of those who do migrate are often clouded by a narrative that people who move, legally, for work are “good” migrants.

Migration in the global south

    • According to Crawley, about one third of global migration happens within the global north (Europe, North America, Australia and parts of Asia), one third happens within the global south (South America, Africa and parts of Asia), and the remaining third is between the two.
    • He studies the relationship between migration, development and regional integration (countries forming economic and trade relationships with each other) in Africa.
    • In some cases, this funding to stop migration has been used in a way that causes instability and violence – and ultimately, more migration.

Looking toward the future

    • While this will present challenges for governments, Nshimbi said the history of migration on the continent gives him reason to be optimistic.
    • He said he wonders why European countries talk about refugee “crises” when countries in Africa regularly host many more refugees.
    • This episode was written and produced by Avery Anapol and Mend Mariwany, who is also the executive producer of The Conversation Weekly.
    • Valentina Di Iasio has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.
