In this episode, join host Mwara Namelok and Samuel Hall co-founder Herve Nicolle as they step into the findings of the EU funded project PACES, a research project examining how migration and migration policy decisions are shaped amidst broader societal change.
This conversation draws specifically on PACES Policy Brief No. 3, titled “From Deterrence to Credible Choice: Rethinking Migration Policy at Origin [Read and Download here].”
The brief challenges a common assumption behind much of migration policy today: that people migrate irregularly because they underestimate the risks, and that better information campaigns can change that. The evidence tells a different story, one where risk is already well understood, and where the real gap lies in the credibility, visibility, and accessibility of safer alternatives.
