Development Centre Studies: Gaining from Migration

Gaining from Migration Towards a New Mobility System September 2007 ISBN 978-92-64-03740-3 €24.00 | $29.00 | £17.00 | ¥3 300 With this publication, the OECD Development Centre—in co-operation with the OECD Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs (DELSA) and the European Commission—provides an in-depth assessment of the contributions that migration is making to receiving and sending countries.

The report is a summary of recommendations that offer a road map to a new system of labour mobility. 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.
