Code 1209. Central America-North America Migration Dialogue (Canamid):
an Overview of Findings
Length /Duración: 120 minutes
The aim of Canamid is to generate updated evidence to support the design of public policies that take care of the
main problems of the migrant populations from the Northern Triangle countries of Central America (Guatemala,
El Salvador and Honduras). It focuses on the conditions at the origin, on the transit, settlement in Mexico and the
United States, and possible return. Canamid gathered experts from the academic, ngo and public sector from
five countries to synthesize the most updated evidence in a series of policy briefs grouped in five priority areas:
po­­­­­­pulation, health, education, labor, and governability. This workshop will provide an overview of the trends and
pa­­tterns of this complex phenomenon over the last three decades, the changes and continuities of transit migration
through Mexico, access to health services by transit migrants, the labor market incorporation of Central American
immigrants in Mexico, as well as access to school and educational gaps of their children.

Code 1336. Diversified Support for a Diverse Labour Market! Targeted Government
Policies for the Integration of (Different Groups of) Migrants into Employment
Duración/Length: 120 minutes
The workshop will offer an international comparison of current governmental instruments aimed at improving the
integration of migrants in national labour market. As statistics show, in most countries migrants face significant
difficulties to find employment in comparison to the native population. Unemployment and employment which is not
suited to one's qualifications are crucial obstacles to full inclusion in society. The challenges are multiple-for these
reasons, diversified solutions are required. foci of the workshop will be: 1) policies and instruments targeting migrants with foreign qualifications; 2) initiatives to bring refugees into employment; 3) measures aimed at tapping the
labour market potential of foreign students, during as well as after their studies In this workshop we want to look at
governmental instruments, strategies and tools to successfully integrate internationally trained individuals into the
labour market with examples from Canada, Germany and New Zealand.
