The debate is fully on in #Spain and should be expanded to other like-minded countries. A new piece of a bigger ‘mind-shift-puzzle’ on Labor Mobility Partnerships by Gonzalo Fanjul for EL PAÍS ELPAÍS PlanetaFuturo

Very interesting podcast by BBC World Service on #labor #migration which shows the need to tackle the topic globally. From a focus on #Canada, it provides insights on other countries too, including on #Germany by Jessica Bither, @BoschStiftung.

A tremendous opportunity for European Commission / EU Home Affairs to boost a debate around policy reforms and forward-looking programs that can address existing labor shortages, as presented by Paula Soler EUobserver. At Labor Mobility Partnerships, we have already started working in this direction.

Featured on @npr, @AriShapiro and LaMP’s Research Director Lant Pritchett discuss #migration’s positive economic impact across high-income countries facing #populationdecline. Listen in All Things Considered: ow.ly/7Qnq50MAF52 #labormobility

Flourishing of #Libya-like deals: money in exchange of (unsuccessfully) trying to halt irregular #migration. Movements will shift elsewhere. This is a political #placebo, not a solution.

Latest Labor Mobility Partnerships’s blog with Rebekah Smith. Spain’s 🇪🇸 #EU presidency and cooperation framework with Latin America present an opportunity to inspire widening the scope of EU Home Affairs #Talent #Partnerships for robust, large scale, well-regulated #labour #migration.

My two cents (in Italian for VITA.it) on the ongoing debate on the granting of the 'special protection' status, citing the 2019 EMNMigration Comparative overview of national protection statuses in🇪🇺and🇳🇴. vita.it/it/article/202… via VITA.it

If economic unbalances drive #migration, if #demographic deficits results in deep labor shortages, and if we want to be serious about poverty #alleviation, credible policy responses must feature #labour mobility. Labor Mobility Partnerships Sida @EBACommittee @Delmigram World Bank #WDR2023

Reinforced belief that Labor Mobility Partnerships mission holds significantly true in addressing the needs of the #care industry, as highlighted by Dr. Robyn Stone powerful call for global migration reforms at the GlobalAgeingNetwork #GAN2023 International Workforce Summit in Glasgow 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This is the reality in 🇸🇪 too: an increasing amount of infilled #vacancies at odds with national policies clamping down on skilled #migration. #Labour #mobility is a beneficial, yet insufficiently sought, opportunity for many, sending and receiving societies alike.

This is not the so loudly invoked 'war on #migrantsmuggling'. No. This is an #EU Member State making #profit and exacerbating abuses against #migrants. 🇮🇹 2023 repubblica.it/cronaca/2023/0…

The UN Human Trafficking & Migrant Smuggling #STARSOM Regional Review on transcontinental #migrantsmuggling from South Asia to North America is finally available. A #lucrative crime, exacerbated by the unmet #demand of #migrants who lack access to well-regulated #employment #opportunities overseas.

Such an unexpected and pleasant surprise, thank you EU Insider for this nomination 🙏 And what a beautiful group of brilliant hearts and minds! Thinking my personal journey can inspire many is incredibly more rewarding than any other achievement I could have ever dreamt of.

A pleasure talking about the work we do at LaMP Labor Mobility Partnerships on this episode of the The Migration & Diaspora Podcast (Homelands) hosted by Loksan Harley 🙏 While more attention is being devoted to the topic, a lot more can be done to achieve the #transformational #impact that #labor #mobility can bring ☝️

On why the debate on #migration is still partial and hasn’t considered fully all solutions at hand, both politically and economically. Thanks Martin Wolf for citing the work of Labor Mobility Partnerships’s co-founder Lant Pritchett.

Instead of inefficient and costly measures, there could be space for safe, legal practices which can a) reduce risks for migrants, b) address labor shortages and c) support developing countries through returns in skills and remittances. Labor Mobility Partnerships for Foreign Policy
