International Talent Mobility

IOM’s Migration Governance Insights illustrate the diverse pathways available for regular migration globally and the immense benefits for both migrants and their countries of origin and destination. 🌍✈️ Embracing these pathways allows destination countries to address labour shortages and manage demographic shifts, while enabling talents in countries of origin to utilise their valuable skills and education. 👨🔧👩🏫 To further enhance access to labour pathways, the report recommends that States: 📊 Develop sector- or skill-specific initiatives  📝 Facilitate job applications from abroad  💰 Avoid minimum income thresholds  🤝 Participate in regional agreements on labour mobility  🌐 Negotiate bilateral labour agreements 🌟 Creating more and better opportunities for regular migration is key to realising the promise of migration.
