If a conflict suddenly erupted in your country would you stay put or move away? What motivates people to up sticks and travel to a new country or stay behind and face the realities of war?

In this podcast, Professor Lucinda Platt from the London School of Economics and Political Science who, together with Dr Tymofii Brik of the Kyiv School of Economics, has been carrying out research on migration resulting from the Ukraine conflict, investigates these important questions. In a series of conversations with migration experts around the globe, she shares some of their research findings on who stays, who leaves and who returns. And she asks how migrants from the Ukraine and other conflict-affected areas have been received, explores some of the challenges they face, and considers the different policy responses.
