Migration as a development enabler: Putting enablers into practice in the post-2015 development agenda

In its foundational report, Realizing the Future We Want for All, the United Nations System Task Team on the Post-2015 United Nations Development Agenda lays out its vision for a new framework to pursue poverty eradication and achieve sustainable development once the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) expire in 2015. A key aspect of the proposed framework is the inclusion of a core set of “development enablers”, which are intended to support progress towards four key dimensions of development: inclusive economic development, inclusive social development, environmental sustainability, and peace and security (United Nations, 2012a). Migration, and specifically fair rules to manage migration, is highlighted as one of these enablers.
