22 New Thinking: Benefits for All Goals of key stakeholders not necessarily at odds Gradual “devolution” of immigrant selection to employers, traffickers and migrants From “devolved selection” to an orderly, smart, flexibly regulated flow of legal migrants

23 What’s Old, What’s New, and Where We Need to Go Dysfunctional dichotomies: Permanent vs. temporary migrants Economic vs. family-based migrants High vs. low skilled migrants Sending vs. receiving countries

24 Old and New Ways of Thinking and Acting on Migration THE OLD Wary of “temporary” mobility Protects domestic labour markets Ignores migrants’ human capital Extends full benefits of social welfare THE NEW Recruits workers that fill real needs Provides early access to work Reforms educational and training systems Experiments with new forms of social benefits

25 The Age of Mobility New tools (communication, monitoring, enforcement, reform) New relationships between public and non-governmental sectors New mechanisms for coherent policy making -- within and between Member States

26 Prerequisites for the New Mobility System Recapturing control of public perception of the migration system Addressing the admission/integration nexus The levels of governance issue: who should do what? Build effective partnerships with sending countries and diaspora networks

27 (1) Labour Market and Visa Policies for an Age of Mobility 1.Develop an Integrated Migration Monitoring System 2.Facilitate temporary and circular migration (e.g. multi-year visas) 3.Enable effective free movement within the European Union 4.Create opportunities for permanent residence and citizenship 5.Rethink Mode 4 to “organise the market”

28 (2) Enabling Integration 1.Provide fair, equal and early access to labour markets 2.Support education, language and adult learning 3.Explore innovative models of citizenship, civic participation and EU multicultural citizenship

29 (3) Partnerships for Mobility Management and Development 1.Look at migration policies through a development lens 2.Integrate international migration into development strategies 3.Overhaul the organisation of migration management 4.Make policies more coherent for more effective management

30 (4) Encouraging Diaspora Networks 1.Provide substantial funding to support migrant organisations and networks 2.Incorporate migrant organisations into the policy making process 3.Deepen co-development initiatives that work with migrant organisations to implement development co-operation policy
