The Migration Group at UNU-MERIT and its School of Governance is currently developing a new research line on Migration and Health. As the world accelerates discussions about the Millennium Development Goals and the post-2015 agenda, health issues once more emerge as an essential aspect for development. Despite the wide existing literature on health and migration, little has been done to bring these two areas together in a comprehensive and encompassing manner. The new Migration and Health research line aims to develop a framework for future research on the field by creating a compendium of previous research which will enable to identify and challenge assumptions on the topic, as well as highlight research gaps.
