  • GENEVA, 2 December - "People are becoming increasingly mobile within and across borders to meet the social and economic challenges of globalisation with the search for employment at the heart of most movement in the 21st century " says the World Migration Report (WMR) 2008 launched by the International Organization for Migration. The report, focusing on the theme of Managing Labour Mobility in the Evolving Global Economy, argues that demands for increased efficiency in production as a response to fierce global competition has meant that workers, independent of their geographical location, are increasingly living in an interconnected world of work, resulting in greater labour mobility.
