Descrição

With one out of seven on the planet on the move, migration and the networks it creates will be a defining feature of the 21st century, affecting the lives of people, communities, and countries around the world. Migration is driven by development opportunities, but it also drives development and enables people to lead a better life. Although migration and development are inextricably linked, the current Millennium Development Goals make no reference to human mobility. This paper argues that the post-2015 agenda provides an opportunity to rectify this omission and outlines a few options for how human mobility could be addressed in the post-2015 narrative that is currently being shaped.
