The assessments were produced by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in the six independent member States of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS): Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, between 2020 and 2021, as part of a project entitled “Regional Dialogue to Address Human Mobility and Climate Change Adaptation in the Eastern Caribbean”, with funding from the German Federal Foreign Office
The rapidly changing environment within which national statistical systems and national statistical organizations (NSOs) operate highlight the importance of the need to transform and modernise so that these data systems and NSOs maintain a national statistical capacity that is fit for purpose, including for collection and disseminating migration related information.
This report reviews the existing evidence base – official statistics and quantitative and qualitative studies from the community level to the global level – to shed light on these important questions. Examining the available information not only indicates where and how children on the move need targeted resources, support and protection, but also pinpoints areas needing further investigation.
This Stats Brief gives an overview of how census taking has been evolving over recent decades, focusing on Asia and the Pacific region as the home to two-thirds of the world’s population.
The purpose of this note is to provide concrete guidance to policymakers, national statistical offices (NSOs) and practitioners on why it is important to promote gender-responsiveness when collecting, producing, using, analysing and disseminating migration data for policy – and how. Gender and diversity analysis is one tool that policymakers, NSOs and practitioners can use to identify needs and address policy shortcomings as part of a gender analysis framework.
