Policies to facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people

When supported by appropriate policies, international migration can contribute to inclusive and sustainable economic growth and development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development recognises this critical interlinkage in target 10.7 by calling on countries to facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies. The Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, a non-legally binding framework for international cooperation among all relevant actors on migration, also explicitly recognizes the importance of effective, evidence-based migration policies and practices for optimising migration’s positive development outcomes.
