Abstract

The significance of migration as a social, political and broader public concern has intensified significantly. Migration
is increasingly seen as a high-priority policy issue by many governments, politicians and throughout the world.
As well as migration projections and scenarios that are essential for appropriate planning and effective policymaking,
a deeper understanding of the root causes and drivers of migration and of their interrelation with people's propensity
to migrate is needed. Enhancing migration data is a crucial step to advance migration governance since better data
is needed in order to accomplish sustainable social and economic development and national migrant data strategies
are required to inform good policies. The project's overall objective is to improve understandings of changing
nature of migration flows and the drivers of migration, to analyse patterns, motivations and new geographies.
Moreover, HumMingBird aims to calculate population estimates and determine emerging trends and future trends
and accordingly to identify possible future implications of today's policy decisions.
