The first...outlines a brief history of Tunisian migration and underlines the active role taken by governmental organizations in promoting and controlling migratory flows, seen in their twofold goals of patching up internal inequities and, at the same time, boosting development. Statistical data regarding flows towards the most popular destinations are reported, along with possible developments in the future. The second looks at...whether migration is good for the sending country." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND FRE)
