Measuring Global Migration

Towards Better Data for All

By: Frank Laczko,Elisa Mosler Vidal,Marzia Rango

This book focuses on how to improve the collection, analysis and responsible use of data on global migration and international mobility.While migration remains a topic of great policy interest for governments around the world, there is a serious lack of reliable, timely, disaggregated and comparable data on it, and often insufficient safeguards to protect migrants’ information. Meanwhile, vast amounts of data about the movement of people are being generated in real time due to new technologies, but these have not yet been fully captured and utilized by migration policymakers, who often do not have enough data to inform their policies and programmes. The lack of migration data has been internationally recognized; the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration urges all countries to improve data on migration to ensure that policies and programmes are "evidence-based", but does not spell out how this could be done. This book examines both the technical data issues associated with improving data on migration and the wider political challenges of how countries manage the collection and use of migration data. The first part of the book discusses how much we really know about international migration based on existing data, and key concepts and approaches which are often used to measure migration. The second part of the book examines what measures could be taken to improve migration data, highlighting examples of good practice from around the world in recent years, across a range of different policy areas, such as health, climate change and sustainable development more broadly. Written by leading experts on international migration data, this book is the perfect guide for students, policymakers and practitioners looking to understand more about the existing evidence base on migration and what can be done to improve it.

Deported Peoples of the Former Soviet Union

The Case of the Meskhetians

By: Frank Laczko,International Organization for Migration

This report is an up-to-date study of the Meskhetians, an ethnic group of Muslim background that was forcibly relocated from Georgia to Siberia and Central Asia during the Stalin era. The recent decision of the Georgian Parliament to facilitate the repatriation of a small number of Meskhetians motivated this research aimed at a better understanding of likely policy implications. Based on interviews with several key actors in Georgia and Azerbaijan, the report traces the migratory history of the Meskhetians, presents a profile of their legal status and living conditions in the Commonwealth of Independent States, and discusses the implications of Georgia's new policy proposals. The book also suggests a number of recommendations for many of the actors involved in the process, including Georgia, different host countries, international organizations and NGOs.

Migration and the United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda

By: Frank Laczko,Lars Johan Lönnback

As the target date for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) nears in 2015, the international community is faced with both the challenge and the opportunity of formulating the next global development agenda. Although migration was not factored into the MDGs, it plays an integral role in the most crucial development questions facing the world today, including: how to generate inclusive growth and create employment for a growing world population; how to manage new global risks, such as vulnerability to shocks and disasters, and adaptation to climate change; and how to mobilize financing for development in a world of decreasing aid budgets. Migration and the United Nations Post-2015 Development Agenda gathers together recent research findings outlining the links between migration and development and proposing how migration can best be factored into the future development framework, offering a timely contribution to the argument for migration's inclusion in the coming development agenda -- publisher's website.
