Abstract: There has been a bias in standard international migration data collection and research toward immigration and destinations while emigration and origins have been neglected. This has hampered our ability to provide a substantial empirical base for migration and development policy making in origin areas. While improvement of migration data collection in origin countries remains an important priority, this paper argues that much can be learned about emigration from low income countries from immigration data in high income destinations. Migration stock and flow data from Australia are used to provide information on the scale and nature of movement between Asia-Pacific countries and Australia. It establishes that there are important but different flows in both directions which belie traditional conceptualisations of south-north migration and this has significant implications for the effects of migration on economic development.
