Paragraph
Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 26
- Paragraph text
- In 2013, migrants sent approximately $404 billion in remittances. Migrants who moved from countries with a low human development index to countries with a higher index experienced, on average, a 15-fold increase in income, a doubling in education enrolment rates and a 16-fold reduction in child mortality. If the human rights of migrants are effectively promoted, respected and protected within well-governed migration processes, such development outcomes can be greatly enhanced.

Paragraph
Human rights of migrants in the post-2015 development agenda 2014, para. 10
- Paragraph text
- In the United Nations Millennium Declaration, Governments pledged to strive for the protection and promotion of all human rights, but the Goal framework failed to live up to that pledge. This state of affairs has demonstrated that issues left out of a universally agreed agenda are not effectively monitored and reported on and are easily overlooked when priorities are set, policies defined or budgets allocated. The Goals have been viewed by some as an economic growth agenda, not explicitly aligned with human rights. Yet, human rights are essential for sustainable development: Governments' legal obligations regarding international human rights standards must be reflected in current development policy in order to enhance effectiveness and accountability. By delinking the Goals from human rights, State obligations were reduced to mere policy options, for example on the issue of free primary education. In addition, given that international human rights standards did not form the basis on which the Goals were developed, the targets created were sometimes unambitious or inadequate. Research shows that the Goals were also often seen as donor driven because organizations based in the North focused more on the goals than on human rights, whereas those based in the South engaged more on human rights and hardly on the Goals.

Enjoyment of the rights to health and adequate housing by migrants 2010, para. 57
- Paragraph text
- A lack of adequate housing may have a profound impact on children, given the integral link between children's housing rights and living conditions, and their cognitive, physical, cultural, emotional and social development. A safe and secure living environment is crucial for them in realizing a whole range of other human rights, such as the rights to education, health and personal security.

Paragraph
The human rights of migrants on a 2035 agenda for facilitating human mobility 2017, para. 66
- Paragraph text
- Newly arrived migrants could face a variety of challenges in accessing public services, such as health care, education or housing, given their limited command of the local language and their lack of knowledge of the laws and systems of the host country. The enjoyment of such rights by migrants is effectively hampered in the absence of relevant support, such as the provision of language training or free information on relevant laws and regulations. A related concern is the lack of disaggregated indicators on the economic, social and cultural rights of all migrants, which would be useful for adequate policy-making, including on enhancing the accessibility of such services.

Paragraph
Banking on mobility over a generation: follow-up to the regional study on the management of the external borders of the European Union and its impact on the human rights of migrants 2015, para. 80
- Paragraph text
- In the context of such shifts, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training has projected that there will mainly be an increase in demand for workers with medium and high skill levels and that demand for workers with low skills will decrease. However, demand for low-skilled workers in 2025 is still projected to be significant, at around 43 million. This figure has to be viewed against the European Union 2020 target of increasing the proportion of citizens gaining a tertiary education, as well as the already rapid increases in those doing so. According to the Centre, between 2002 and 2013, a 13 per cent increase in the proportion of 30-34 year olds who have attended tertiary education and a 57 per cent increase in the absolute number of tertiary education graduates were recorded.
