Macro-level analysis of migration data instead attempts to identify those factors that, on a systematic basis, tend to be associated with higher or lower levels of migration.
So some of the migration associated with poor governance will not be reflected in the data here either because of reporting issues, or because political refugees must often flee across land borders to neighbouring countries that often have similar economic characteristics and thus would not appear as a South-to-North migration phenomenon.
Migration data disaggregated by gender, however, are not available for the current study, and thus any remarks on this point would be speculative.

 Migration Information Source - Albania: Looking Beyond Borders
The Albanian government heavily discouraged this migration by establishing political and legal barriers to migration and labeling it a crime.
Albania quickly became the country with the highest migration outflow in Europe, when measured in terms of the ratio of migrants to overall population.
EU state policies that affect Albanian migration are currently mainly inspired by a philosophy of stopping, controlling, and reducing migration flows, as opposed to favoring and liberalizing channels of legal migration.

Migration to East Asian countries with growing economies and rising incomes is perceived by Asian policy-makers as temporary labour migration, and is not expected to lead to permanent settlement.
Migration (both internal and international) is a way for individuals and groups to sustain or rebuild their livelihoods under conditions of rapid change.
This politicization of migration issues (which is paralleled in the Philippines and Japan–and indeed at a global level) is linked to the realization that migration is not a temporary and easily controllable phenomenon, and may have unpredictable social and cultural consequences.

 Immigration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although human migration has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, immigration in the modern sense refers to movement of people from one nation-state to another, where they are not citizens.
The nation-state also made immigration a political issue: by definition it is the homeland of a nation defined by shared ethnicity and/or culture, and in most cases immigrants have a different ethnicity and culture.
Migration flows are not solely from poor to rich countries, however: about a third of international migrants move from one developing country to another.

 Gabaccia and Ottanelli/Italian Workers of the World. Chapter 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
DONNA R. Migrations of humble laborers from the Italian Peninsula and the nearby island of Sicily were already rising when a nationalist movement—called the Risorgimento—emerged in Italy to demand a united and independent state for a nation of "Italians." In 1789, the French Revolution sparked both imitation and horror among Italy's nationalists.
Because the Risorgimento exiles were articulate and bourgeois, their political lives in Italy and abroad are easier to document than the lives of the radical activists of humbler origin during later mass migrations.
My evidence on the earliest migrations from Italy, 1200-1789, as well as migrations of elite migrants in the modern period, is based on systematic analysis of a biographical dictionary of Italy's most prominent migrants.

 TACKLING THE ROOT CAUSES OF FORCED MIGRATION
Concern to address the causes of migration pressures, rather than focus solely on entry controls and integration issues, was initially prompted by the political developments in Central and Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Recognition that economic and political instability in the region could lead to substantial emigration into Western Europe exposed the limitation of migration policies which focused exclusively on developing entry controls and on the subsequent integration of immigrants and asylum seekers.
Defining migration pressures as 'all actual and potential migratory movements directed towards Europe' it was not confined to forced migration and thus focused on economic disparities as a significant pressure as well as on those leaving because of human rights abuses and the political situation in their country.

Voices out of conflict: young people affected by forced migration and political crisis
Humanitarian aid agencies have tended to see protection in terms of national or regional security, and do not give enough recognition to other aspects of protection which are far more vital to young people in situations of political crisis or forced migration.
For these young people, aged 10 to 25 years, protection from sexual abuse and labour exploitation, and the creation of the conditions in which they can have safe access to education, employment and healthcare, and consequently become self-sufficient, are much more immediate concerns.
