Workshop on The Future of International Migration to OECD Countries

Workshop on

The Future of International Migration to OECD Countries

The OECD International Future’s Programme is preparing an experts' workshop to take place on 1-2 December 2008 in Paris to explore the main factors shaping the global migration landscape over the next 20-25 years. The aim of the workshop is to begin a process to equip decision makers with an enhanced understanding of the complexities and wider context of future migration flows, so that they may better manage the economic and social implications of a growing trend that both presents opportunities and risks. The workshop may consider the driving factors behind increased migratory flows from non-OECD countries to OECD countries and potential scenarios that are likely to reveal the key issues public and private actors could confront if international migration is to be harnessed for long-term social and economic development. It is envisioned that a Phase II project proposal for the period 2009 – 2010 will be available by October 2008.
Interested stakeholders are invited to contact Pierre-Alain Schieb, Head of OECD Futures Projects, regarding conditions of participating in the meeting
