Migrant workers

Thumbnail

According to the ILO global estimates on migrant workers, there were around 164 million migrant workers in 2017. 

Migrant workers contribute to growth and development in their countries of destination, while countries of origin greatly benefit from their remittances and the skills acquired during their migration experience. Yet, many migrant workers face challenges in accessing quality training and decent jobs including under-utilization of skills, a lack of employment or training opportunities, lack of information, and exploitation of low-skilled workers.

To address these challenges, countries need to strengthen skills anticipation systems to inform migration policies, increase access to education and training, and establish bilateral or multilateral recognition of qualifications and skills.

Measuring the outcomes of skills systems, policies and targeted programmes is essential in order to monitor and improve their effectiveness and relevance. Elements of sound assessment processes include: institutions to sustain feedback from employers and trainees; mechanisms to track labour market outcomes of training and systems of accountability that use this information; and, quantitative and qualitative labour market information and its dissemination to all stakeholders.

L'éducation dans un monde interconnecté : Assurer un développement inclusif et équitable

La Réunion mondiale sur l’Education de 2018 examinera les progrès accomplis dans la réalisation des objectifs et engagements mondiaux en matière d'éducation énoncés dans l'Agenda 2030 pour le développement durable. La réunion rassemblera la communauté mondiale pour faire le point sur les progrès accomplis et identifier les domaines stratégiques prioritaires nécessitant une orientation et une intervention politiques pour la réalisation effective de l'Agenda mondial pour l'éducation 2030.

Cette réunion de haut niveau constituera un jalon dans l'évaluation des politiques, des stratégies et des défis en matière d'éducation en vue du Forum politique de haut niveau de 2019. Le Forum politique de haut niveau 2019 examinera en profondeur l'objectif de développement durable (ODD) axé sur l'éducation (ODD4). En tant que tel, le thème du Forum politique de haut niveau 2019 "Autonomiser les gens et assurer l'inclusion et l'égalité" encadrera les discussions au GEM. L'accent sera mis sur les liens entre les objectifs 4 et 8 (travail décent et croissance économique), 10 (réduction des inégalités), 13 (action climatique) et 16 (paix, justice et institutions), en accordant une attention particulière à la question des migrations, des déplacements et des réfugiés.

La Réunion mondiale sur l’Education rassemblera quelque 300 participants, y compris des agences des Nations Unies et des organisations affiliées, des agences multilatérales et bilatérales, des organisations régionales, la profession enseignante, des organisations de la société civile, le secteur privé, des fondations, ainsi que des représentants des jeunes et des étudiants, entre autres.
