📅 10 – 12 June 2024
Bangkok, Thailand
The World Bank, in collaboration with the International Labour Organization (ILO) Asia and the Pacific and the International Organization for Migration (IOM), is organizing a Migration Core Course and Conference in Bangkok, Thailand, on June 10-12, 2024.
The goal of this Migration Core Course and Conference is to create knowledge exchange and learning activities for policymakers and academics within the East Asia and Pacific region. In addition to policy-relevant academic knowledge, the conference will present real-world examples and policy challenges, including World Bank operational projects and outputs. The activities would help policymakers to identify practical constraints and ways to reform migration policies to reach effective outcomes.
The conference will bring together experts and practitioners, including from the World Bank and development partners, to share global knowledge on the costs and benefits of international labor mobility, the evolution of migration policies, good practices in facilitating labor migration while reducing costs of migration, and challenges in managing/facilitating labor migration, especially in East Asia and Pacific countries.
