Description
This workstream was established to advance GCM implementation via the successful socio-economic integration of migrants, including in countries of destination (immigrants) and upon return (return migrants), through access to decent work (comprising job creation, social protection, social dialogue and fundamental principles and rights at work) and access to financing, with a gender-responsive, rights-based, whole-of-government, whole-of-society approach.
Activities
i. Engage in consultations towards a comprehensive definition of the elements to be included in the definition of migrants’ socio-economic integration, and to provide guidance on the workstream ToRs. This will be carried out through at least two (2) online meetings and the creation of a dedicated Hub virtual space to collect inputs.
