This training toolkit focuses on improving data collection in countries of the Arab region and provides the information necessary to develop and improve statistical systems for migration statistics. The approach, although applied to national training needs, is intended to support building regional capacity for the collection of comparable data, using UN standards. It identifies common pitfalls and includes easy-to-use exercises and annexes.
This book both offers a look at existing methods used to collection migration data as well as a fresh approach to building accurate, sustainable statistical migration data collection.
Since its creation in 1919, the ILO has devoted attention to international migration issues, including the availability and quality of international migration statistics. These guidelines aim to establish the basis for strengthening national capacities to generate the data required for policy analysis in the area of international migration.
