Description

Introduction Established in 1951, IOM is a Related Organization of the United Nations, and as the leading UN agency in the field of migration, works closely with governmental, intergovernmental and non-governmental partners. IOM is dedicated to promoting humane and orderly migration for the benefit of all. It does so by providing services and advice to governments and migrants. IOM is committed to ensuring a workplace where all employees can thrive professionally, while working towards harnessing the full potential of migration.

However, despite the increasing relevance of migration in national development, significant gaps persist in the availability of reliable, comparable, and up to date data on migration dynamics and their economic implications. These gaps limit the ability of policymakers, institutions, and stakeholders to design evidence based policies and to fully leverage the contribution of migrants and diaspora communities to the country’s development. To address this gap, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), through the collaboration between IOM COMED (Coordination Office for the Mediterranean) and IOM Albania, is launching a research initiative aimed at generating robust evidence on the economics of migration in Albania. This project aims at adapting the established methodology developed by the Fondazione Leone Moressa (FLM) for Italy to the Albanian context, with the objective of producing a comprehensive, robust evidence-based analysis on migrants’ contribution to the national economy, including GDP, labour market structure, sectoral added-value, and fiscal impact, that can inform strategic planning and support policy dialogue at national and regional levels. The research will contribute to strengthening national migration governance and Albania’s efforts toward evidence based policymaking by providing a contextualized, point Intime analysis of labour market dynamics. Findings and recommendations are framed to inform ongoing policy dialogue and programme planning in support of longterm development priorities, including labour market planning socioeconomic inclusion, and the broader migration–development nexus.
