The 2010 IOM World Migration Report
(Source: IOM - http://www.iom.int/)

The 2010 World Migration Report has been launched yesterday in Geneva.
The full report can be downloaded for free from
http://publications.iom.int/bookstore/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=
37&products_id=653&language=en

The report, "The Future of Migration: Building Capacities for Change", argues that in a world where demographics, economic needs and the effects of environmental change are driving the inexorable rise in numbers of international migrants, governments and non-state actors have little choice but to invest adequate financial and human resources to ensure States, societies and migrants reap the full potential of future migration.

On November 29th, IOM will release its fifth World Migration report, entitled "The Future of Migration: Building Capacities for Change." The World Migration Report 2010, draws upon the findings of 19 background papers which are released separately today. The background papers, prepared by distinguished migration experts focus on a range of different policy themes and geographical regions, providing a global perspective on the future of migration, and the capacities which are likely to be needed to manage migration successfully in the coming years.

Repatriation and belonging on the borders of Uganda and South Sudan
IRRI's Senior Researcher Lucy Hovil has written UNHCR's latest working paper on the process of repatriation of Southern Sudanese refugees in Uganda. While the official repatriation process continues, the paper demonstrates that refugees are creating their own durable solutions through a combination of economic and social integration and ongoing movement in and out of Sudan. The paper explores both the process of official repatriation and the practical survival strategies and how to create better resonance between the two.

The New Bonded Labour?: The impact of proposed changes to the UK immigration system on migrant domestic workers. A new report by Oxfam and Kalayaan.
Every year around 17,000 visas are granted to domestic workers from non-EU countries to accompany their employers to the UK. Prior to 1998, there was no formal route for migrant domestic workers (MDWs) to enter the UK. They were given leave to enter either as a visitor, a family member, or given a stamp ‘to work with…’ This meant that they were not formally recognised as workers, leaving them extremely vulnerable to exploitation by their employers and others.
