In 2000, IOM published the World Migration Report 2000, which comprised a global overview and nine regional updates on international migration trends and policies.
The new World Migration 2003, to be launched on 10 June, will have added dimensions of key interest to migration policy-makers, practitioners and academics. With the overall theme: Managing Migration, this comprehensive report will include not only regional updates, but also a set of thematic articles on selected issues important in migration management, a concept that reflects the efforts of the international community to render the migratory flows more orderly and humane.
The themes include integration of immigrants into their host societies, labour migration and brain drain, health concerns involved in various forms of migration, and challenges posed by irregular migration flows, including trafficking in human beings and smuggling of migrants.
As IOM is increasingly facilitating regional cooperation among governments in meeting migration challenges, an update on both new and earlier initiated regional consultative processes is included in the report. Also new in this edition is a global overview on key questions on how to improve migration statistics. The statistics section also contains comprehensive migration data, including special statistics collected by IOM of phenomena such as return migration and trafficking in human beings.
