Overview

How should the global system of labour mobility be managed to better meet the needs of migrant-sending countries, migrant-receiving countries, and the migrants themselves? In short, how can we all gain more from migration? This report is a summary of recommendations that seek to answer this question. They are the result of a multi-faceted project undertaken in partnership with the European Commission to rethink the management of the emerging mobility system. The policy innovations proposed here will be of interest to decision makers in migrant-sending and migrant-receiving countries. New ideas, based on an exhaustive review of past policy experiences in Europe and elsewhere, are offered for policies related to labour markets, integration, development co-operation and the engagement of diasporas.
