As global displacement rates increase, complementary pathways play a key role in supplementing the asylum and refugee resettlement system by offering additional legal admission avenues to safe third countries. The joint OECD-UNHCR publication series “Safe Pathways for Refugees” collects data from 37 OECD countries and Brazil on entry permits granted for work, study and family reunification to nationals of eight origin countries associated with high asylum needs. The latest, fifth edition maps the availability and use of such complementary pathways from 2019 to 2023, highlighting key trends and recommendations for the international community.
