World Food Day: UNDP Human Development Report 2009 – Overcoming Barriers
Geschreven op 16-10-2009 - Erik van Erne. Geplaatst in Agenda, EEN-Armoede, Int. Samenwerking
Allowing for migration both within and between countries has the potential to increase peoples freedom and improve the lives of millions around the world, according to the 2009 Human Development Report launched here today.
We live in a highly mobile world, where migration is not only inevitable but also an important dimension of human development. Nearly one billion or one out of seven people are migrants. The report, Overcoming Barriers: Human mobility and development, demonstrates that migration can enhance human development for the people who move, for destination communities and for those who remain at home.
