| Summary: | This policy note offers motivation and a
game plan for achieving a coherent and mutually beneficial
labor migration system. It argues that migrant workers may
make important contributions to economic growth and
development in both sending and receiving countries if they
find enabling conditions. To achieve a potential win-win-win
situation requires: (1) a sustainable migration management
system that takes into account the interests of the various
stakeholders involved; (2) a clear identification and
articulation of objectives and interests in migration by key
stakeholders, based on a common conceptual framework for
migration and development; (3) regional and bilateral
coordination mechanisms to balance these (potentially
divergent) objectives and to reach compromise under labor
agreements and policies; and (4) effective, evidence-based
polices and public and private sector interventions to
achieve the objectives that are known and applied at the
levels of sending, receiving, returning, and circulating. |
