About us

Established in Berlin in September 2015 at the invitation of the Government of Germany, the International Organization for Migration’s Global Migration Data Analysis Centre (GMDAC) was set up to respond to calls for better international migration data and analysis. Data are key to inform migration governance, improve programming and promote a better public understanding of migration. Timely data on migration are often scarce, making it difficult for decision-makers to develop effective migration policies. Even when migration statistics do exist, policymakers may not make full use of them, because data are often scattered between different stakeholders and between different countries. Sharing data effectively is often just as important as collecting data. Poor presentation of migration data can contribute to misperceptions about migration, and can distort public opinion. Better analysis and communication of the data are needed to promote a balanced debate on migration issues.

  •  #OutNow #GRID2024 🚨 Conflicts drive a new record of internally displaced people and disaster displacement can happen to anyone, anywhere. 💡At the end of 2023, 75.9 million people were living in #internaldisplacement. Over the past five years, the number has increased by half.  💡 #Sudan, #DRCongo and #Gaza accounted for nearly two-thirds of last year’s internal displacements caused by conflict and violence. Solutions to displacement can take years, as conflict is keeping millions from re-building their lives.  💡 In 2023, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) detected 26.4 million internal displacements triggered by disasters in 148 countries and territories. This is the third highest figure in the last decade. Climate change is making some hazards more intense and communities more vulnerable to the underlying drivers of displacement.

  • Not all heroes wear capes! 👨🏭 👩🔧 👩🏫 👨⚕️ 👨💻 👩✈️ 👷♂️ 👮♀ 👨🚒 It’s #LabourDay! 5️⃣ things you need to know about our heroes: 👉 In 2019, there were 169 million migrant workers globally, contributing significantly to key sectors of the economy. 🌍💼 👉The average annual growth rate among migrant workers between 2010 and 2019 (4.8%) is higher than that of the overall African population (2.7%) during the same period. (African Union and JLMP, 2024) 📈🌍 👉Significant regional variations existed in the share of women among total migrant workers in 2019: women represented more than 50% of all migrant workers in Northern, Southern, and Western Europe, but the share was below 20% in the Arab States. (International Labour Organization, 2021) 👩🏭🌏 👉In 2023, migrant workers sent USD 669 billion to low- and middle-income countries, highlighting their crucial role in global remittances. 💸💼 👉However, migrant workers are more vulnerable than native-born workers as they often take on some of the most dangerous jobs. ⚠️According to the ILO, the number of fatal occupational injuries was higher among migrants than native-born workers in 73% of countries surveyed in 2021. 🛠️ 📊Better data are urgently needed to ensure the rights of migrants are upheld and to ensure decent working conditions for them. 👷♂️👷♀️ Learn more from Migration Data Portal thematic page on Labour Migration: https://lnkd.in/dPrkbmpB Available in Spanish, French and German!
