Sending countries and their benefits

The issue of sending countries and their potential benefits from labor migration is not an element explicitly considered within Danish immigration policy. In the current debate, no political actors have raised the issue of effects on sending countries, and the electorate may not hold strong sentiments on this topic.

Trade policy and negotiations on trade agreements do contain elements related to migration, but international-trade policy fundamentally aims at enabling more free trade on a global basis and is conducted in close cooperation with other EU countries.

Denmark’s development cooperation aims to fight poverty, primarily through the support of human rights and economic growth (DMFA 2012). Danish development assistance has remained above the UN spending target (0.7 % of GNI) since 1978. Assistance efforts have been focused on some of the world’s poorest countries.

Pakistan provides an illustrative example in this regard. With regard to migration, Pakistan is a sending country for Denmark and is also a partner country for development cooperation. China, another sending country, is granted development assistance in areas of democracy and human rights as well as on issues of climate and the environment (www.danida.dk).

Questions and policies regarding sending countries are not linked directly to migration policy, but are typically handled in the context of trade relations, development policies or cooperation within the educational area. These are policies in their own right and are not necessarily closely linked to sending countries.
