Migration in Bangladesh: A Country Profile 2018

This first Migration Profile for Bangladesh is a country-specific policy tool that provides internationally comparable data and a nationally relevant monitoring framework for migratory processes. The Migration Profile is a single document that combines a large amount of the primary and secondary data related to migration in a manageable way and is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) (in particular SDG Target 10.7), the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration (Objective 1), and the IOM Migration Governance Framework (Principle 2). With a view to addressing inadequate evidence of migratory processes and their impacts in the country, IOM has assisted the Government of Bangladesh to produce this report. This Migration Profile is expected to positively contribute to the migration conversation in Bangladesh by addressing data and analysis gaps, as well as supporting national and regional initiatives to ensure migration data and information is utilized.
