The one factor driving migration no one is talking about | DW News

Poverty forces people from poor countries to migrate to rich ones. That's how most people assume economic migration works. But it might not be so simple. Rising education levels, better economic chances and growing ambitions may be the secret driver of migration. That's the 'migration paradox' according to Dutch migration expert Hein de Haas. DW Reporter Amien Essif sits down with de Haas to explore whether Europe has misunderstood the relationship between development and migration, and why migration aspirations can remain strong even in a country that is making significant economic and social progress.
