About the product
The 2001/2002 report presents a statistical and analytical update of recent migration flows for twelve countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. The report takes into account relevant political and historical developments interacting with population movements. It also describes and analyzes the specific features of irregular migration in the EECA countries, where numerous unresolved economic, social, ethnic, and environmental problems still contribute to the growth of illegal migration, trafficking in persons, and smuggling of migrants, thus complicating the challenges of migration management.
