Low rain spurred 10% of 1970-2000 migration increase: Report -Madhumita Paul

-Down to Earth

Water shocks affect not only the number of people who move but also the skills they bring with them

Rainfall variability is expected to be one of the contributing forces in migration, according to a new World Bank report released 23 August, 2021. 

Rainfall deficit is linked to approximately 10 per cent of the increase in global migration between 1970 and 2000, the report said. 

Water shocks affect not only the number of people who move but also the skills they bring with them, said the report. Migrants who leave regions with lower rainfall and frequent drought usually possess lower educational levels and skills than other migrant workers, implying significantly lower wages and less access to basic services at their destination.

The report, titled Ebb and Flow: Volume 1. Water, Migration, and Development provided the first-ever global assessment of the impact of water on migration.
