International migration is one of today's most pressing social issues. It requires the view and analysis of specialists to be understood in all its complexity. Migration in the new millennium: India and Mexico, exposes the causes, characteristics and evolution of migratory flows in the last thirty years. It conducts a comparative study of the cases of Mexico and India, countries that share the first two places in the list of nations that lose the most population and that have several similarities in terms of inequality conditions, remittance income and capital flight.
Throughout the book, the author explores the factors that have given rise to this unprecedented migratory phenomenon, analyzing the economic policies of neoliberalism, the effects of globalization and the relationship between developed and developing countries.
