The OECD International Futures Programme provides the Organisation with an early warning of emerging issues, pinpoints major developments, and analyses key long-term concerns to help governments map strategy. The Programme uses a variety of tools including multiyear projects, high-level conferences, expert workshops, and consultations; a futures-oriented online information system, and a network of contacts from government, industry, academia and civil society. For more information, please refer to the 2009 IFP's brochure .

Factors shaping international migration flows are complex and hard to predict. This publication explores the social, economic and environmental forces that may attract migrants to the OECD and those that may persuade migrants to emigrate or to stay. By analysing pull and push factors and constructing migration scenarios, this volume endeavors to cast light on key questions. Which factors will be major determinants of migration flows? Which OECD countries will look attractive for migrants? What kind of migration-related issues will policy makers likely be facing as 2030 approaches?

The Future of International Migration: Expert's workshop to explore the main factors shaping the global migration landscape over the next 20-25 years
from 01-Dec-2008 to 02-Dec-2008
The aim of the workshop is to begin a process to equip decision makers with an enhanced understanding of the complexities and wider context of future migration flows, so that they may better manage the economic and social implications of a growing trend that both presents opportunities and risks. The workshop may consider the driving factors behind increased migratory flows from non-OECD countries to OECD countries.
Interested stakeholders are invited to contact Pierre-Alain Schieb regarding conditions of participating in the meeting at pierre-alain.schieb@oecd.org.
