This one says, do you need information about your rights in Colombian? Tells them they can go to this sort of reception point, this orientation point here on the Colombian side over here, this one says, "If you don't want to return to your country, know your rights at the reception point." And finally, this one just sort of sets the mood says, "This is a zone free of discrimination." In a small beauty salon tucked away in Bogota, a frenetic city of over eight million.
Over here to the Colombian side, they're greeted immediately by a number of signs while still on this bridge that crosses the border. So let's give you a sense of some of the first impressions a migrant might have coming from the Venezuelan side. And yet Colombia hosts some 2.5 million migrants implementing a range of measures, both addressing the crisis and creating opportunity for migrants and host country alike. The sheer number of people that have crossed this bridge since 2015 were threatened to overwhelm the government's services and upend the politics of a far wealthier country. And for many, the journey begins here on the Simón Bolívar Bridge that connects Venezuela with Colombia. Over eight years, more than 7 million people are believed to have fled Venezuela spanning out across South America and beyond. Paul Blake: It's the biggest movement of people in modern Latin American history. Paul Blake went to the border town of Cucuta to find out more. Neighboring Colombia was the front line of this migration crisis, but Colombia, a middle-income country, still emerging from decades of conflict, saw a development opportunity in welcoming and integrating these migrants. So beginning in 2015, millions of Venezuelans began fleeing their country amid economic and political crisis. Raka Banerjee: Let's start with Colombia. Colombia, and in a few minutes, the Philippines. But first, let's get a snapshot from two parts of the world where migration has topped the economic agenda in very different ways. Srimathi Sridhar: And we'll get into those in a moment. Raka Banerjee: Yeah, it's been an interesting one. Raka, you've put together some numbers for us from this latest report into migration. Srimathi Sridhar: All that and more coming up in The Development Podcast. I have to do something to change the economic status of my family. Raka Banerjee: We also hone in on two countries with very different experiences, Colombia and the Philippines, and here's some personal stories giving us an insight into this complicated subject.Īngelito: I came from a very poor family, so I need to change. This is more a question of how you manage this sort of movements by countries at all levels of income. This is not a question of one group of country versus another group of country. Many migrants live in Nigeria, or many Nigerians live outside of Nigeria.
Xavier Devictor: So there are actually more British citizens living outside the UK than migrants living in the UK. Bank's recently released World Development Report. Srimathi Sridhar: We'll be taking a closer look at the big numbers from the world. So what are the benefits migration can bring? Raka Banerjee: And with global economic imbalances, demographic changes, climate change and conflict. It's a hot topic in many parts of the globe with 2.3% of the world's population living outside their country of nationality. People moving their lives across borders through choice for economic reasons, or because of displacement. Srimathi Sridhar: And I'm Srimathi Sridhar. Raka Banerjee: Hello, and welcome to The Development Podcast from the World Bank Group, coming to you from Washington, DC and beyond.

To unpack this and more, we speak to Xavier Devictor, the World Bank’s co-Director for this year’s World Development Report and four individuals, including two migrants in Colombia and the Philippines, who share their stories of success and survival outside of their home countries. About 184 million people-2.3 percent of the world’s population-live outside of their country of nationality, and almost half of them are in low- and middle-income countries. In this episode of The Development Podcast, we explore the conversation around migration, from global economic imbalances, demographic changes, and conflict, to the opportunities it can bring to people and host communities.
