Migration in the Republic of Fiji: A Country Profile 2020

Migration in the Republic of Fiji: A Country Profile 2020 was developed out of the need to better understand the migration dynamics facing Fiji as a country of origin, transit and destination in the Pacific. This Migration Profile includes data and statistics that analyse migration trends and characteristics, identifies the impacts of migration in Fiji, and outlines how migration is governed in the country. It was produced through the direct support and contribution of the members of the Migration Profile Technical Working Group, which consisted of representatives from thirteen government ministries and institutions and was co-chaired by the Fijian Immigration Department and the Fijian Bureau of Statistics. This publication is the direct outcome of the Migration Profile project funded by the IOM Development Fund (IDF) and is a useful point of reference for policymakers, migration experts and relevant stakeholders looking to delve into the topic of migration and development in Fiji.
