International labour migration and development : the ILO perspective - GenevaCH ILO 2007? - [10 p.]

Presents the ILO's perspective on the increasingly recognised relation between international labour migration and development. Reviews the importance of migrant workers to development in destination and origin countries, including through the needed services they perform in destination countries, the remittances they send home, the beneficial transfer of skills back to home countries but also the loss of skilled workers by those countries, and the need to expand legal avenues of migration.
