This paper will mostly consider the situation in Pacific island countries and major migration countries in South, East and South-East Asia, including China and India. While the relationship between population, migration and MDGs is difficult to assess in large and interdependent Asian countries, linkages appear more clearly in small Pacific countries where the impact of migration is much more important. Although lessons learnt form the Pacific may not be replicable in larger economies, it contributes to improving our knowledge of the effects of migration on population and MDGs.
