Perspectives on Global Development 2016: Expert meeting on international migration and development

  • Date
    24 Feb 2015, 00:00am
  • Location
    OECD Headquarters, Paris

Since its initiation in 2010, the OECD Development Centre’s Perspectives on Global Development series has investigated the increasing economic weight of developing countries in the world economy, a phenomenon we refer to as “shifting wealth”. Each edition has examined the effect of this trend on development, focusing on different policy concerns, from social cohesion (2012) and industrial policy (2013) to the middle-income trap (2014). The next edition of Perspectives on Global Development will focus on the issue of international migration and development in the context of shifting wealth.

Speakers at the expert meeting include, among others, Ms. Dina Ionesco, Head of Division, Migration, Environment and Climate Change (MECC) at the International Organization for Migration (IOM), and Mr. François Gemenne, Executive Director, Politics of the Earth, Sciences Po – Medialab and Research Coordinator for the MECLEP project.
