Call for papers: The drivers and impacts of migration and labor mobility in origins and destinations.
FAO is developing a programme of work that will provide evidence on the diversity of pathways, the drivers and the impacts of distress or voluntary migration, labor and people’s mobility in a context of accelerated urbanization and increased pressure on natural resources. The programme gives importance to the role of policies, governance and institutions in steering change processes in origins and reducing challenges in destination areas. Evidence from this programme of work will feed into FAO’s normative work and policy support to countries and multistakeholder governance platforms in promoting sustainable development, food security and nutrition. The programme will provide background material and support the Global Migration Group negotiations to develop a Global Compact for safe, orderly and regular migration.
In the context of the programme, FAO invites the submission of papers to be presented on a technical workshop on:
The drivers and impacts of migration and labor mobility in origins and destinations: Building the evidence base for policies that promote safe, orderly and regular people’s and labor mobility for poverty reduction and sustainable development
The workshop will be held the 1st of December 2017, at FAO headquarters in Rome.
