Outlook on International Migration in Mexico and Central America. Executive Summary (original) (raw)

This document analyses international migration in the subregion of Mexico and Central America on two levels, at the same time. On one hand, it describes migration flows and their components on the basis of data from various statistical sources. On the other hand, it examines recent instruments and policies relating to migration management in the subregion. Special attention is paid to a number of significant themes relating to migration, including migrants’ human rights, the driving factors of migration, human trafficking and the pillars of migration governance. Detailed and up-to-date statistical and descriptive information is not always available for all countries in the subregion. Similarly, policies, programmes and initiatives are very diverse and shaped by political directives that change over time, in addition to the fact that not all countries have implemented and updated their corresponding regulatory frameworks. Hence, the aim of this document is to provide an overview of migration in the subregion by highlighting the most relevant elements and dynamics relating to this subject in order to shed light on the situation of migrants and their human rights.
