POLICY BRIEF 24 - Responsible migration management from the business

In this policy brief, we explore the implications of international migration for the operations and strategies of firms, describe the role that businesses and associated actors can play in shaping global mobility, and provide policy recommendations for both firms and governments. [...] With business and labor (legally recruited international migrant workers) both missing from the discussion table, the cause of international migrant workers remains neglected even as their role in the production of goods and services continues to grow in the global economy. [...] East Asia and the Pacific accounts for the largest share (46%) of the total global finance gap and is followed by Latin America and the Caribbean (23%) and Europe and Central Asia (15%) (World Bank 2023). [...] Aida Hajro (a.hajro@leeds.ac.uk) is a Professor in International Business and Director of the Centre for International Business at the University of Leeds, and a visiting professor at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. [...] The European Commission, and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH commissioned by and on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) are the contributors to the trust fund.
