Seven country cases review

Skills needs intelligence to inform migration policy and governance

This study investigates how seven countries—spanning advanced economies (United Kingdom and Canada) and emerging markets (Bangladesh, Guyana, Malaysia, India, and South Africa)—leverage skills needs intelligence to inform migration policies.

In an era defined by globalisation, rapid technological change and shifting labour market dynamics, the intersection of skills intelligence and migration governance has become increasingly critical for economic and social resilience.

The findings illuminate how strategic integration of skills intelligence can unlock economic opportunities, empower workers, and create pathways for inclusive growth, inspiring a global vision for migration governance that balances equity and prosperity.
