Abstract

The aim of the article was to analyze international migration from countries with the highest poverty rate.The following hypothesis was set: international migrations cannot be considered as a measure significantlycontributing to the reduction of poverty in the world. As stated, the poorest countries – even though they have thestrongest incentives for emigration – have a limited international mobility. In addition, benefits from migration arelimited, which raises a number of challenges, among others, to increase the positive impact of remittances as aninstrument for working against extreme poverty.
