	I am Wisdom Kwesi Tayviah P.O. Box NG 116 Nungua - Accra Ghana. My name is Wisdom Kwesi Tayviah i am coming from Ghana and i recide in Ghana. Sorry for the delay I was away for some few days that is why my relpy delayed. I am 40yrs. any way. I want to respond to question one. Questions: (Sections roughly correspond to the round table discussions taking place at the Dialogue) Section 1: Effects of international migration on economic and social development - What are the main economic and social benefits and drawbacks of migration for young migrants and for their home and host countries? This people were trained in thier home country for some number of years finally a countyr which does not train this person will reap what another country had suffered for. This brought a lot of set backs so this countries remain developing countries those who are surppose to develop this country alway travel outside which is a big problem to our authorities. They live thier country underdeveloped. They sometimes live thier countries economy very dry. Do you think that the benefits of youth migration outweigh the drawbacks? This youth are surppose to develop thier country but when they leave for another coutry thier contributions as a good citizens is missing. Some times it does not benefit thier countries. It ruther favour the countries they travel to. - Who benefits the most from youth migration national governments, local communities or the young migrants themselves and their families? In this case the number one benefactor is the countries they travelled to. Then the young migrant and his/her immidiate families Section 2: Ensuring the human rights of migrants - What policies does your government operate to guarantee the rights of young migrants? At moment my country does not put any serious policies in place simply because of the hardships that we face this days though it is a worry to the authorities of my country especially how some cathegory of young atissans leave the shores of our country. Are there special measures in place to protect the more vulnerable (for example, young women)? I may say no special measures were put in place to protect the vulnerable some times the ordeal they pass through before they get out is not easy. - How can young people within civil society work to decrease the risks of youth trafficking and abuse of young migrants? In actual fact locally we must first put things right example working conditions, there must be proper jobs, the working enviroment must be clean so that you can work locally to cater for yourself and your families, living conditions must be worth living in, jobs must be created so that after school everybody can stay and get the right job that you want then receive the proper pay. In my country for instance a lot of people are living below the poverty line. So if one member happen to travel outside the country the whole family is happy so it will be very difficult to decrease the risk. There are somany things that we take into consideration though i did not surppot it any way but our leaders must sit up. Can the use of information and communication technologies help in this respect? No it will not help. Steps more that meare information and communication technologies. If the problem is there, the person will be force to leave even if under hard condition. I bet to differ in some situations it may work but in my country it will be very difficult. Section 3: Remittances - Do you think remittances provide an effective source of growth for developing countries? No Why (not)? This remittance is sent to the family members but not to communities. Should governments ease the process of sending remittances to home countries and reduce remittance fees? Yes because it help in many ways at home. For instance somebody left the poor mother at home who cater for him or her single handedly and behind he or she knew the mothers predicament so at all cost he or she will send money home to alleviate the pressing issue at home. - How can remittances from young migrants be put into more productive use in their home countries (for example, programs for local development)? In this case since they left home those they left behind, they are doing all the developments projects, and programs at home since they are not there to work in person, they need to surpport with cash. There must be an endowment fund at home where by every body from the community that travelled outside must be made known of this fund so that, every year they will contribute which they will add to the communities money for development projects.
