Comments on “The impact of migration on children in developing countries” by Andrea Rossi

Rossi’s paper is well organized and generally clear. The most complete and useful part is that relating to children left behind (chapter 2). The impact of migration on those children has been the focus of considerable attention by the research community. Rossi does a good job of detailing the main findings of the research literature. His review shows that there are few findings that could be translated into policy advice. In a revised version of the paper, it would be useful for the author to indicate whether the findings documented have more than descriptive relevance.
