Overview
International migration is a global phenomenon that is growing in scope,complexity and impact. Today, virtually all countries in the world are simultaneously countries of destination, origin and transit for international migrants. Traditional migration patterns are complemented by new migratory flows, fuelled by changing economic, demographic, political and social conditions. Changing migration patterns affect the size and composition of migrant populations as well as economies and societies in countries of origin and destination.
The rise in global mobility, the growing complexity of migratory patterns and the impact of such movements on development have all contributed to international migration becoming a priority for the international community.
The twelfth Coordination Meeting on International Migration focused on the follow-up to the 2013 High-level Dialogue on International Migration and Development as well as integrating international migration into the post-2015 United Nations development agenda. The twelfth Coordination Meeting on International Migration took place in New York from 20 to 21 February 2014.
