Migration frameworks in Africa by Alemu Asfaw Nigusie (16962900)

“…Flahaux and De Haas (2016, p. 7) contend that the “total stocks of migration from Africa to the rest of the world and within Africa have increased between 1960, 1980 and 2000, while migration from the rest of the world to Africa has decreased in absolute numbers”. Nonetheless, as the data from UN DESA shows, the number of international migrants that Africa hosts has not been consistent across the three decades (1990–2019). …”
