Those who do migrate achieve higher incomes than those who stay home. They are able to send money home as remittances, which directly increases opportunities and freedoms for their families. Globally, the money that migrants send home is more than twice as large as foreign aid, and for many countries remittances are the largest source of foreign exchange. Not everyone who migrates does so for economic purposes. Conflict-induced migration and forced migration also contribute to the overall flows of labor migration. There were some 42 million forcibly displaced people worldwide at the end of 2008.

Each year millions of people move within their own country and between countries in search of better-paid or more secure work. Labor migration can help address global inequalities.
