Description:
E-consultation to set the advocacy agenda for the UN High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development - September 14-15, 2006
Para espanol, visite groups.takingitglobal.org/migracion.
In September, the UN is holding a High-Level Dialogue on International Migration and Development. The purpose of the high-level dialogue is to discuss the multidimensional aspects of international migration in order to identify appropriate ways to maximize its development benefits and minimize its negative impacts. Additionally, the high-level dialogue will have a strong focus on policy issues, including the challenge of achieving the Millennium Development Goals. This consultation provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to this highly important debate as a report on the results will be delivered to delegates at the Dialogue.
In an age of globalization, the issue of international migration has become extremely controversial. On the one hand, there is great concern over the apparent ‘brain drain’ in the developing world as well-educated young people leave their home countries, attracted by improved career prospects in the West. On the other, remittances (money earned by migrants working abroad and transferred back to relatives at home) reached $223 billion in 2005 – a figure more than twice the level of international aid. These matters are of particular importance to young people, who make up around 30% of the world’s migrants yet receive few opportunities to participate in the discussion. So please take a moment to answer these questions for your chance to get your voice heard!
The E-consultation will take place over 2 weeks from 21st August until 3rd September, 2006.
