Both JP & CZ face rapid population ageing. Japan responds with digitalisation, AI and skilled migration: pre-trained, protected workers from the Asia region.
We in @iom.int call it Skills Mobility Partnership.

CZ should talk about this too.

#EveryStep that States take to advance and improve regular pathways for migration ultimately benefits society as a whole.

Together, we can work to reduce risks of violence, exploitation, and abuse and ensure migrants' access to their rights and services!

Last week we organised the first ~Voices of Migration~.

Migration deserves attention and an open debate from which young people are often excluded. That's why we are opening up a space to discuss the future of migration with people aged 15-25.

💙 We would like to thank all the participants!
