 This report comes at a time when migration is not only the subject of sharp focus for policymakers, politicians, and the media, but also at a time when the number of migrants and those displaced from their homes is at an all-time high. Even the ever-increasing number of migrants that we are seeing, coupled with the complex and multi-casual nature of migration, a report such as this one, which is going to be launched, could not be more timely, as it provides an opportunity for all of us to gain a better sense of some of the most important and pressing migration issues of our time.
