‘We could build a future with shared prosperity’
Migration has become a highly politicised issue. Yet labour mobility is hugely important to the future health of the global economy.
OECD countries are rapidly ageing and unfilled jobs cost the global economy 3 - 7 billion dollars every day. At the same time, migration is one of the most powerful anti-poverty tools in the world today, with benefits from remittances - the money that migrant workers send back to their origin countries - far outstripping foreign aid.
Voices host Deborah Sagoe and Carmen Pedraza from IHRB’s migrant workers programme, hear from Rebekah Smith, the Executive Director at Labour Mobility Partnerships. Lamp is an organisation that believes in the power of movement to address some of the biggest issues we face in the global economy.
