Abstract
Through analysis of the Bangladesh-India migration corridor, the paper attempts to explore nuances in South-South migration flows and suggests a shift from simplistic analysis towards a framework that adequately considers regional complexities. As evidenced by the overall academic and policy preoccupation with South-North migration, recent policies have almost exclusively concentrated on North-South remittances. Poor data on South-South labour movements, coupled with scarcity of systematic research, impedes the formulation of policies that can effectively use this intra-regional labour mobility as an enabler for structural transformation, growth, poverty reduction and rural development in the developing world.
