Migration in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic: A Country Profile 2023
Instituted in 2005 by the European Commission, the Migration Profile serves as a foundational tool for collecting migration-related data, facilitating evidence-driven policy-making. The initiative seeks to emphasize the significance of integrating migration into broader policy planning through an evidence-based, collaborative approach. The formulation of the inaugural Migration Profile in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is a substantial breakthrough, amplifying the policymaking capacity of the Government as it looks towards achieving the goals set out in the 9th National Socioeconomic Development Plan 2021–2025.
