Existence of involuntary migration and migration for economic reasons should be recognized. Governments of origin and destination countries need to work together to develop immigration policies to encourage legal channels of migration and better protection for migrants. The mobility of these workers across and within borders should also be looked into. Destination countries should recognize their demand for labor. This would provide opportunities for migrants, better working conditions and better protection for them.   Report to moderator   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
