Abstract
The findings in the previous seven chapters show us that the human capital gains potentially available through education and migration are contingent on time and place. What unites wildly divergent cases is the desire of parents and children to improve their lives and future prospects, often using migration as a tool to improve human capital gains. At the same time, the effects of the COVID-19 epidemic put at risk these gains, although the degrees to which human mobility and educational investment are reduced by the circumstances of 2020 are yet to be seen.
