In an attempt to assess how far land settlement is an appropriate policy response to problems of population redistribution, unemployment and poverty, the paper analyzes the aims and performance of various resettlement programmes in Asia, Africa and Latin America, discusses similarities and differences, and examines some of the problems encountered. It finds that most have had only limited success in achieving their objectives and suggests what could be done to improve them. Resettlement should not be simply a matter of moving people physically but, to motivate the settlers to stay, should embrace more concerted and imaginative planning in the area of destination.
