Adriana Castaldo, Development Research Centre on Migration, Globalisation and Poverty
Adriana Castaldo is a quantitative researcher specialising in the measurement and the analysis of migration and its links with poverty and development. She is currently a research fellow at the Sussex Centre for Migration Research. She has analysed data from large and small household-level and individual-level surveys to study the causes and consequences of Albanian international migration, international migration from Ghana and Egypt to Italy, rural-urban women's migration in India, and internal migration of children and other groups of migrants in Ghana. More recently she has worked in the area of enhancing data availability and the use of global data on child migration, as well as investigating specific issues related to the potentials and shortcomings of existing nationally representative surveys and censuses, to generate useful indicators of child migration. She is also currently working on the development of a contextual database of policy and macro-economic variables that may affect migration from Africa to Europe.
