The session will aim to provide insights into data collection practices and approaches of overlapping global crises: the impacts of global health emergencies such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, food insecurity and climate change on migration and displacement. In 2022, we have witnessed the combined impacts of climate change and food insecurity, and the proliferation of acute situations across the world, leading to disruption in food supply chain and rising prices of grain, fertilizers, and energy. This has resulted in compounded risks for communities already under severe stress, especially in low-income countries, and lead to protracted displacement and increased humanitarian needs.

This session will gather producers and users of international migration statistics to discuss how innovative approaches, sources, and methodologies are increasing the availability and quality of migration data. The session will discuss how National Statistical Offices (NSOs) are using and integrating different administrative sources to produce international migration statistics; how partnerships among NSOs, line Ministries and think tanks are resulting in innovative methodologies to make migrants visible in statistics; and what opportunities and challenges big data present for statistics on international migration.

This event will be a discussion with policymakers, national statistical authorities, international organizations, youth and others working at the nexus of migration, displacement, development, data and children's issues. It will reflect on progress made in improving child-specific migration and displacement data. In addition, it will consider existing data gaps and evidence-based solutions that can protect children on the move from current and emerging global challenges such as conflict, climate displacement, food insecurity and health threats.
The provisional agenda is available here.
Pre-register for in-person or online participation following the below link. The conference documents and other details will follow soon.

ILO / ECLAC
International labour migration is increasingly recognized as one of the key drivers of development with the potential to bring sustained social and economic prosperity and reduce long-standing inequalities and asymmetries within and across countries. International accords, including the Global Compact on Migration (GCM) and the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development represent significant commitments by countries and the international community to mainstream international labour migration as an integral component of development policy. Furthermore, the United Nations Development Account project, “Harnessing the contribution of intra-region migration to socio-economic development in Latin American and Caribbean countries”, coordinated by CELADE - Population Division of the ECLAC has designed methodological strategies to increase the visibility of the contribution made by the migrant population to development through its important contribution to the labour market. Both the GCM and SDG Agenda nevertheless recognize that, to realize the positive outcomes of labour migration, policies need to be based on sound evidence.
To date, however, producing comprehensive, quality, and timely statistics on international labour migration has proven extremely challenging, as nternational migrant workers still represent a relatively small population difficult to capture in the different sources of official statistics. As a result, significant data gaps remain about who international migrant workers are, how many they are, their gender composition, where they work, under what kinds of working conditions, and how they can be supported to better harness the benefits of international migration to achieve equitable and sustainable development
This side event, jointly organized by ILO and ECLAC, will showcase recent initiatives at global, regional and national levels, to meet the growing demand for comparable and high-quality official statistics on international labour migration.
Recent developments to be highlighted include newly endorsed international statistical standards that address the specific data needs for the management of international labour migration; regional efforts to harness the 2020 round of population censuses to generate needed benchmark data, promote information sharing, and support the preparation of up-to-date sampling frames for national household surveys, including specialized migration surveys; as well as national and regional initiatives from different parts of the world (including Latin America and Asia Pacific), to expand the use of administrative sources for statistics on international labour migration and improve the design and content of household surveys taking into account the specific situation of international migrants, their rights and gender.
The panel interventions will be followed by an interactive dialogue with participants, both in person and online.
The meeting will be held at ECLAC headquarters in Santiago, Chile, in a hybrid format (face-to-face and virtual). There will be simultaneous Spanish ‐ English interpretation, with live transmission via Facebook live and Youtube.
