Overcoming barriers: Human mobility and development. The starting point of this report is that the global distribution of capabilities is extraordinarily unequal, and that this is a major driver for movement of people. This report investigates migration in the context of demographic changes and trends in both growth and inequality. It also presents more detailed and nuanced individual, family and village experiences, and explores less visible movements typically pursued by disadvantaged groups such as short term and seasonal migration.

UNDP - Human Development Report 1999
[English][French]. 1999
Globalization with a Human Face. The Report argues that globalization is not new, but that the present era of globalization, driven by competitive global markets, is outpacing the governance of markets and the repercussions on people. Characterized by “shrinking space, shrinking time and disappearing borders”, globalization has swung open the door to opportunities. Breakthroughs in communications technologies and biotechnology, if directed for the needs of people, can bring advances for all of humankind.
