OBJECTIVE 5 - REGULAR PATHWAYS

Objective 5 focuses on the development of regular migration pathways in different contexts. This objective discusses the facilitation of labour mobility, academic mobility, family reunification and mobility options to respond to the impacts of climate change and environmental degradation.

Options and pathways for regular migration facilitate labor mobility and decent work which can fill gaps in demographic and market realities (for example, needing certain skill profiles or younger workers in countries with aging populations). They also significantly reduce risks and facilitate access to basic services.
