Migration Matters: A Human Cause with a $20 Trillion Business Case

This BCG report, developed in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), offers winning strategies, actionable advice, and examples of best practices.

Affected by the ongoing pandemic, accelerating climate change, and geopolitical and economic destabilizers, millions of people have moved across borders since the start of 2022. While cross-border migration currently generates an annual economic output of around $9 trillion, this figure could more than double by 2050, to around $20 trillion a year, according to a report from BCG, in collaboration with the IOM.

The report outlines the economic case for migration and highlights more than 20 actions across three key strategies that companies can deploy to employ, elevate, and embrace migrants in the workplace.
