What are socioeconomic advantages of immigration? For example: meeting labor demands, cultural diversity, innovations, tax incomes. But immigration comes also with challenges for individuals, communities and institutions. For example: fear for displacement of local labor, fear for less social cohesion and cultural identity.\u00a0 What kind of policies are needed to address these challenges? And to maximize the benefits? The Caribbean perspective.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li><em>Migration is a tool to safeguard the socioeconomic model of the ACS-countries: migration approaches revisited.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What are rationales for modernization of migration policies (such as meeting labor demands, as a tool to safeguard employment opportunities for local employees, driver of innovation, other economic factors as drivers, demographic trends, etc.)? What are the challenges of the current migration policies? Should the ACS-countries design juridical and fiscal measures to make the ACS more attractive for labor migrants or not? If yes, how? Should the countries be more selective, for example by attracting (temporarily) high productive labor migrants?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li><em>Brain drain and brain gain: a matter of reversing the coin?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Brain drain and brain gain are characteristics of the same economy. What are disadvantages and advantages of a brain-drain? Measures to prevent brain-drain \/ bring back diaspora and\/or profit from diaspora? One of the factors concern moderate socioeconomic perspectives in the ACS-countries versus positive socioeconomic perspectives elsewhere. This means that push and pull factors work simultaneously, causing net negative migration and a (risk of) decreasing population and in particular (the risk of) a decreasing labor population. At the same time relative welfare levels, especially in the region, make that the ACS islands attract labor migration from the region. What are the advantages and disadvantages? What are means and ways to address this situation? Could for example the management of inter-island labor migration be a viable response: what is the rationale? What other measures are needed?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><em>Changing the narrative on migrants.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>What are popular misconceptions about migrants?

If so, under what kind of policy frameworks?<\/p>\n<ol start=\"5\">\n<li><em>Informal and formal labor market approaches: towards win-win- approaches.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Mismatches on the labor market (quantitatively and qualitatively) lead on the one hand to emigration (of higher educated and high productive persons) and on the other hand to immigration (of lower-educated persons in lower productive sectors, such as the hospitality sector). What short-term policies do we need and what mid-term policies? Simultaneously, informal labor markets seem to be expanding rapidly, providing labor to a growing number of irregular and regular migrants, and local workforce. Effects of irregular (labor) migrations: socioeconomic, fiscal, social security system. How to improve responses to influx of irregular migrants? For example: temporary special regularization to enable applications for short-term residence and work permits for those who have passed the screening (no criminal record, no communicable diseases)? What are advantages and disadvantages of such and other measures? What short-term do we need and what mid-term policies?<\/p>\n<p><strong>12.00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lunch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #3366ff\"><strong>AFTERNOON PROGRAM<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>13.00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 5 parallel <\/strong><strong>breakout sessions Migration policies and sustainable development, part 2<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>Policy priorities<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>14.05\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Plenary: video message, Sigrid Kaag, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, The Netherlands<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.15\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong>Presentation outcome of breakout sessions<\/p>\n<p><strong>14.40\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/strong><strong>Coffee\/tea break<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>15.00\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Panel discussion:<\/strong> <strong>major findings and policy recommendations\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 <\/strong>Panel leader: Deva-Dee Siliee<\/p>\n<p><strong>16.15 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Opinions on the move<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>16.25\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Closing remarks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>16.30\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Farewell drink &amp; Social Networking<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff9900\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900\" href=\"https:\/\/ser.cw\/migration-symposium\/powerpointpresentations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">POWERPOINT PRESENTATIONS, SPEECHES AND OTHER DOCUMENTS<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=\u00bb1_3&#8243;][et_pb_sidebar area=\u00bbet_pb_widget_area_40&#8243; _builder_version=\u00bb3.17.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_sidebar][et_pb_divider show_divider=\u00bboff\u00bb height=\u00bb52px\u00bb _builder_version=\u00bb3.17.6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Future of Work in Cura\u00e7ao 2019 INTRODUCTION The Symposium on Migration and Socioeconomic Development, Policy Challenges and Optionsis organized by the Social Economic Council (SER) of Cura\u00e7ao, the SER of Aruba and the SER of Sint Maarten.
