Report on Labour Migration Statistics in Africa (Second Edition)

This publication demonstrates the sustained commitment of the African Union Commission to provide member states, regional economic communities and partners with tools that can help them make meaningful decisions on migration governance.

Africa is a continent of migration. Throughout its history, the movement of people, goods and ideas has contributed to the evolution of the continent. Today, this phenomenon has intensified further in the face of demographic, socio-economic and environmental factors. For this reason, the African Union has put in place a framework to guarantee the good governance of this phenomenon and to ensure its effective implementation.

This second edition of the Report on Labour Migration Statistics in Africa is a joint product of the African Union Commission (AUC), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA).
