Preface

The 2019 edition of World Population Policies, a report published biennially since 2001, focuses on Government policies and programmes on international migration. It provides an overview of policies to govern regular migration and to address irregular migration and reviews an array of policy measures related to migrants’ rights, including access to services, as well as policies to foster the integration of migrants into host societies. The report also examines Government measures to maximize the development impacts of migration and to support diaspora populations.
