This paper provides an overview of migration and poverty in Moldova, as part of a review conducted by the
Sussex Centre for Migration Research on migration and poverty in three regions of Eastern Europe and Central
Asia in 2006. The research included a review of available literature, and field-level discussions with policy-makers
in Chisinau in October 2006. The paper explores the context of poverty and development and general migration
trends, before focusing on policies orientated towards migration management, and the broader impact of migration
on poverty. It concludes with a number of policy recommendations.
