Open Forum: Immigration
- Welcome or Not?
For over 200 million people, migrating to a foreign
land represents the hope of a better life and
valuable career experience. While viewed by some
as an opportunity for development and a healthy
source of skills on the job market, many people are
concerned with irregular flows of migrants, the cost
of integration and potential increase in criminal
activity. With European migration on the rise,
should governments improve their integration
policies or impose barriers to entry?
- What best practices can assist countries to
improve management of migration flows?
- How have countries leveraged immigration for
development?
- What are the implications of stricter regulations vs
integration policies?
Simultaneous interpretation in English and German
