About the DRC
January 2010
The Migration, Globalisation and Poverty DRC has now come to an end. To find out more about its successor, the Migrating out of Poverty Research Programme Consortium (RPC), please visit www.migratingoutofpoverty.org

Introduction
Attitudes to migration are shifting. Seen in the past as a failure of development, there is increasing recognition that in certain circumstances, migration can contribute to development and the alleviation of poverty. However, it also involves risks and costs which may be borne disproportionately by poor people, and it may widen inequality > Conceptual Background to the DRC

The DRC's purpose
 The Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty aims "to promote new policy approaches that will help to maximize the potential benefits of migration for poor people, whilst minimizing its risks and costs".
