| Summary: | This Migration and Development Brief
provides an update on worldwide remittance flows and the
global migration crisis. It focuses on two Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG) indicators: reducing remittance
costs, and reducing recruitment costs for low-skilled
migrants. In September 2016, the United Nations General
Assembly Summit on “Large Movements of Refugees and
Migrants” committed to develop two global compacts: a Global
Compact on Refugees, and a Global Compact for Safe, Orderly,
and Regular Migration. Negotiations on both compacts are
expected to continue through 2017, with final adoption
expected at a United Nations international conference in
2018. The Brief reports on progress in the preparation of
the global compacts, with an expanded discussion of the
Global Compact on Migration. |
