Panel discussion on migration and development: causes and impacts

New York

15 November 2012

Overview

General Assembly Second committee special event. Panel discussion on 鈥淢igration and development: causes and impacts鈥�, prepared by the Population Division, Department of Economic and Social Affairs. The objective of this special event is to bring together experts from government, civil society and academia to debate the linkages between migration and development, to identify best practices and lessons learned on how to harness the benefits of international migration, while minimizing its negative consequences. Panel members will discuss public policies that address the causes of unwanted migration, that maximize migration benefits, and that reduce migration challenges. Topics to be addressed will include the contribution of transnational communities to development in countries of origin, programmes for safe, orderly and voluntary migration, migrant integration, and practical steps to improve the governance of migration. Panelists will give their perspectives on public policies that facilitate labour mobility, address irregular migration, and promote migrant integration.
