 Let me start by saying that this World Migration Report has been written for you, and it's been written for the people that work for you, for the policy officers, for the research assistants, for the visa officers, the consulate staff, and the media and communication specialists, the ones who work for you and advise you and your governments. It's also been written for migration practitioners working to support and assist migrants out in the field, including those who have been displaced. It's been written for the researchers and the students, too, for master students, for example, studying migration at universities in Oslo, in Washington, D.C., in Dhaka, in Kuala Lumpur, in Buona Series in Shanghai, as well as the many thousands of people studying migration elsewhere around the world. And it's also been written for people beyond these groups who want to learn more about migration and about migrants. This is an awfully lot of people, all with different needs and different levels of knowledge of migration, but such is the readership of information and analysis on migration these days. As we know all too well, interest in migration continues to increase, and so we have sought to strengthen our World Migration Report series so that it's better suited to meet the needs of a growing readership.
