Governments Urged to Utilise Immigrants' Skills

The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) says most developing countries fail to capitalise on the benefits immigration offers them.

In its latest Human Development Report, the UNDP says that while many developing countries rely on the income that their expatriate workers send home, few make it easy for skilled and unskilled workers to come into their economies.

“Most countries are yet to put in place policies to allow an orderly movement of skilled and unskilled people into their countries,” says Tegegnework Gettu, the UNDP regional director for Africa.
