International Migration, Development and Human Wellbeing

Edición de la obra International Migration Development And Human Wellbeing

"Katie Wright discusses the concept of 'living well' -- exploring how human wellbeing is constructed and how it 'travels' across spatial boundaries. Drawing on empirical research, undertaken with Peruvian migrants based in London and Madrid, she investigates the needs that migrants themselves identify in their attempts to 'live well'.
