Dr Andrés Solimano, the current Chairman of the International Center of Globalization and Development (CIGLOB), will provide insights into important global debates on migration in the age of globalization, the relationship between global capital and global labor markets, and the international mobility of talent. He will also touch upon topics such as the relationship between migration, growth and inequality, and migration from and to Latin America.
The event is part of the UNU Midday Forum Programme, which provides an intimate and informal platform for discussion to the UN Permanent Missions, the UN Secretariat, UN agencies, academia, NGOs and the private sector, to discuss and exchange ideas and experiences on important topics related to the UN.
