Socioeconomic costs of irregular migration for the region of origin of migrants: case of the municipality of Daloa
Irregular migration is a major challenge for sub-Saharan African countries, including Côte d'Ivoire. According to IOM (2018), 10,000 Ivorian migrants arrived irregularly in Italy in 2017. This places the country in third place in arrivals on the central Mediterranean route, after Nigeria and Guinea. The majority of the literature notes the costs of this tragic migration, or remittances, as well as the many benefits that migrants' countries of origin can derive once they settle.
