About the Book

This book focuses on how to improve the collection, analysis and responsible use of data on global migration and international mobility. While migration remains a topic of great policy interest for governments around the world, there is a serious lack of reliable, timely, disaggregated and comparable data on it, and often insufficient safeguards to protect migrants’ information. Meanwhile, vast amounts of data about the movement of people are being generated in real time due to new technologies, but these have not yet been fully captured and utilized by migration policymakers, who often do not have enough data to inform their policies and programmes. The lack of migration data has been internationally recognized; the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration urges all countries to improve data on migration to ensure that policies and programmes are “evidence-based”, but does not spell out how this could be done. This book examines both the technical issues associated with improving data on migration and the wider political challenges of how countries manage the collection and use of migration data. The first part of the book discusses how much we really know about international migration based on existing data, and key concepts and approaches which are often used to measure migration. The second part of the book examines what measures could be taken to improve migration data, highlighting examples of good practice from around the world in recent years, across a range of different policy areas, such as health, climate change and sustainable development more broadly. Written by leading experts on international migration data, this book is the perfect guide for students, policymakers and practitioners looking to understand more about the existing evidence base on migration and what can be done to improve it.

Review :
An essential guide for those seeking to navigate the complexities of improving migration data, Measuring Global Migration offers a comprehensive roadmap to understanding and improving the quality of data in this field. With clear and practical insights, the authors present the challenges inherent in collecting, analysing, and interpreting migration data, providing an invaluable tool for students, researchers, policymakers and practitioners. Carlos Vargas-Silva, Professor of Migration Studies, University of Oxford, UK Measuring Global Migration is an essential read, which explores the use of new and non-traditional data for understanding contemporary migration. It offers students and researchers concrete examples, and a balanced view of the potential benefits of using big data, as well as highlighting the ethical concerns and limitations involved, making it a comprehensive guide for all those in the migration field. Dr. Stefaan Verhulst, Co-Founder of the GovLab (New York) and the Data Tank This book engages most effectively with the contemporary challenges of using migration data for policy. Written in an accessible style, the authors provide an expert guide to data challenges as well as policy needs and gaps. An important and up-to-date resource for policy makers, academics and journalists, this will also be an invaluable addition to student reading lists. Ann Singleton, Reader in Migration Policy, University of Bristol, UK. School for Policy Studies Measuring Global Migration is an absolutely essential piece of reading material for any migration scholar interested in understanding the value and strategic importance of the collection, analysis and use of migration data as a means to enhance effective migration governance. In a world where various versions of the truth prevail which are all competing for relevance when addressing an emotive topic like migration, ensuring that migration data is well collected and defined and communicated effectively is critically important. This volume is highly relevant not only to migration scholars but also government officials, academia and civil society involved in addressing the management of migration and development. Diego Iturralde, Chief Director of Demography at Statistics South Africa and former co-chair of UN expert group into International Migration Statistics, 2018-2022 (alongside the series editor), South Africa
