International Experts' Meeting on assessing the economic contribution of labour migration in developing countries as countries of destination (ECLM project)

The meeting will gather a small group of academic experts from universities, research institutions and international organisations from around the world to discuss methodological approaches for the ECLM project.

Despite the importance of South-South migration, the empirical knowledge base on the economic impacts of immigration is almost exclusively founded on studies that have been carried out in OECD countries. To fill this gap, the OECD Development Centre and International Labour Organization have launched a project co-financed by the European Union entitled Assessing the economic contribution of labour migration in developing countries as countries of destination. The project will be implemented in ten low and middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America until January 2018. The provisional agenda for this meeting can be found above.
