BAHRAIN: "New deal" for migrants urged.

BAHRAIN activists yesterday urged employers to ensure that migrant workers are being treated fairly under the harsh conditions imposed by the global recession.

The call follows a United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) report issued yesterday, calling on governments worldwide to re-examine their approach to immigration policies.

This should be done with a view to offering a "new deal" to migrant workers whose skills could help spur economic recovery.

Le Rapport sur le développement humain bouscule les idées reçues sur la migration.

Permettre la migration – à l’intérieur où au-delà des frontières – peut potentiellement augmenter la liberté des populations et améliorer la vie de millions de personnes dans le monde : tel est le résultat du Rapport mondial sur le développement humain 2009, lancé ici même aujourd’hui.

Human Development Report challenges common migration misconceptions

Allowing for migration—both within and between countries—has the potential to increase people’s freedom and improve the lives of millions around the world, according to the 2009 Human Development Report launched here today.
