Unprecedented levels of migration in today’s globalized economy are dramatically reshaping social, economic and political landscapes in sending and receiving countries. For policymakers and practitioners, understanding and responding effectively to such rapid transformation is a pressing issue. To date, communities facing socio-demographic transformation due to labor outflows have received less attention. AGRUMIG research focuses on these “sending communities” in low and middle-income countries, with a particular focus on transformations taking place in the agrarian sector.
