This phenomenon will have a significant impact on migration waves.

The International Labour Organization (ILO) established that in the next five years 90% of all jobs will be created in emerging and developing countries. Also, this year unemployment will grow on 3, 2 million people.

Moazam Mahmood, Adjunct Director of ILO’s Research Department and main author of the report pointed out that “it is expected that this process will have significant impact on migration waves”.

Mahmood stated that “migration models seem oriented to change as developing countries make greater progress improving employments’ quality”.

“South-South migration is at its peak and more workers are abandoning advanced economies, particularly European countries affected by the crisis, searching for new opportunities in developing countries”, he explained.

ILO’s report on world labour tendencies stated that, by 2013, 231, 5 million people were leaving in a different country from the one they were born in.

Furthermore, it shows that since 2000 the total amount of migrators was increased to 57 million, out of which 19% occurred during the last three years.

There is a significant amount of young people with high levels of education who leave developed countries affected by the crisis and move towards emerging economies.

In the report, ILO recommends general political measures, such as promoting migrators economic integration, to increase legal migration.

These policies must be supported by measures aimed to fight discrimination, xenophobia and abuses and must introduce measures that improve the information migrators receive before leaving their countries.
