Social Protection of Migrants: A thematic paper based on the MGI and the Objectives of the GCM
Facilitating pathways for regular migration is one of the main priorities laid out in the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Strategic Plan 2024-2028. IOM works to unleash the potential of migration by assisting states to establish, expand and enhance regular migration pathways, while reducing irregular migration. Social protection and health coverage for migrants are key vehicles to reduce inequalities and maximize migrants’ contributions to societies, and therefore IOM continues to advocate for the inclusion of these issues in global, regional and national agendas. To contribute to this institutional priority, this paper presents Migration Governance Indicators (MGI) data on social protection for migrants and other issues.
