The EU Communication aims to respond to EC Council's request, based on the existing policy and cooperation framework, to identify novel approaches to improve the management of legal movements of people between the EU and third countries, in order to make significant efforts to fight illegal migration.
In 1990, under the patronage of King Hassan II, the Foundation for Moroccans Living Abroad was created to promote economic and cultural co-operation with the diaspora and to support them. This Foundation, in co-operation with the International Organization for Migration (IOM) established an Observatory of the Moroccan Community Living Abroad (EOMC), which offers an information system for the government on migration management issues.
ILO conducted three research studies on West, North and East African countries aimed at assisting governments and social partners to address the fundamental building blocks of effective policy and practice to regulate labour migration. Understanding that good policy depends on good data, this study assesses the current state of data collection and suggests specific measures to improve and harmonize collection and analysis of statistical data on labour migration and to more effectively use it in policy and administration.
The Development Research Group at the World Bank is drawing up best practice principles for measuring migration in censuses and household surveys. The intention is to use these leassons learned in the Bank's own assistance to countries, as well as to spread them around the global research and policy community more generally through papers, seminars etc.
The study attempts to measure various economic impacts of immigration on New Zealand. For those impacts where evidence or methods are currently lacking, the study draws on findings from international research that are also likely to apply to New Zealand to make an estimate of what the relationship might be, as well as suggesting a research strategy to fill the gaps in the long-run.
This publication presents the current situation with regard to the magnitude and economic impact of migrants’ remittances to their countries of origin.

This is a report on the joint Eurostat-NIDI project aimed at studying the push and pull factors determining international migration flows. The objective of the project is to improve understanding of the direct and indirect causes and mechanisms of international migration to the European Union, from an internationally comparative perspective. The results are intended to serve as a basis for the development of policy instruments and to provide tools for estimating future migration.
"Development on the Move" is a ground-breaking global research project gathering new qualitative and quantitative data about migration’s development impacts. The project aims to comprehensively assess how migration affects development in a number of different countries around the world, and how policy can maximise migration’s development benefits and minimise its costs. It is a joint project of the Global Development Network (GDN) and the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), UK.
The Commitment to Development Index ranks 27 of the world’s richest countries (OECD countries) on policies that affect the more than five billion people living in poorer nations.
This project was undertaken by the World Bank, the African Development Bank, the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) and the Africa Region and Development Prospects Group at the World Bank with the objective of examining the incidence and impacts of migration and remittances across sub-Saharan Africa, a region where relatively little is known about migration trends and the impact of remittances upon development.
