The Migration Profile Light has been developed in 2013 based on the feedback received from the Prague Process participating states aiming to strengthen the Prague Process Knowledge base with the useful tool consisting of state-owned migration profiles with standard and comparable data categories. In comparison to the Extended Migration Profile, which from its name indicates that the information should be of thorough and detailed nature, the Migration Profile Light is a handy tool with a limited number of pages clearly indicating the areas of interest. The Migration Profile Light aims at key priorities and problems, easy annual updatability and standardised data for all countries involved. Its main function is to serve as an information tool for the facilitation of data exchange, capacity building and policy making.

This MPL was approved by the Ministry of National Economy of the Republic of Kazakhstan in April2016.
