- ABOUT THE EVENT
- AGENDA
GO TO: SPEAKERS
Migration has become an urgent global development challenge, as diverging demographic trends and the growing impact of climate change compounds trends arising from welfare gaps and conflict and violence. As governments continue efforts towards achieving sustainable and inclusive growth amid multiple crises, migration, if managed well, can be a positive force for development, bringing benefits for migrants as well as origin and destination countries.
On the occasion of the global launch of the World Development Report 2023: Migrants, Refugees and Societies, the event aims to:
- Introduce the World Development Report’s approach and framework to inform policy making on migration, building on insights from labor economics and international law, and in line with the 2018 Global Compacts on Migration and Refugees
- Share perspectives from origin and destination countries to stimulate a discussion on policies, emphasizing the need for global cooperation to effectively manage cross-border migration
