| Sumario: | This article shows the consequence of the absence of a rights-based approach to the study of skilled migration. While the analysis has focused mainly on what happens at destinations, the failure to comply with and violation of rights (recognized in national and international frameworks) in the places of origin has not been exhaustively analyzed. This situation promotes that migration takes place not as an election, a human right, but as a last option. Some implications of the adoption of the human rights approach are demonstrated in the paper. Finally, the Mexican case is presented to show that, in spite of the approach of migration and devel opment in which it has been positioned, there is no evidence of policies linked to the skilled diaspora that contribute to national development. Although it has designed programs and actions with this purpose, a conception prevails that finally questions, among others, the right to migrate. |
