Super interesting book about migrants, immigration, and the families in the native country. The research about the global impact of the country employee and the country receiving remittances changed my mind about how to deal with impoverished nations. Plus, the data about how highly skilled employees migrating positively affecting multiple countries, strategies nations use to keep “others” out, and one family‘s story was so interesting!

Heard an interesting interview with the author about this new book, then saw it is blurbed by Matthew Desmond, who wrote Evicted. I will definitely be reading this.
