- The fourth edition of ‘Global Estimates on International Migrant Workers’ was released by the International Labour Organization (ILO).
- In 2022, International Migrants (IM) made up 4.7% (167.7 million) of the global labour force, defined as both employed and unemployed (but available for work); over 30 million more than in 2013.
- An estimated 155.6 million were employed and 12.1 million unemployed.
- The share of IM men in the total employment for males globally was estimated at 4.7% and that of IM women at 4.4%.
- However, between 2019-2022, the rate of growth dipped annually to less than 1%, influenced among other factors by the pandemic.
- A higher proportion of IM males were employed — 61.3% out of a total of 102.7 million.
- Conversely, only 38.7% female IMs were employed out of a total of 64.9 million in 2022.
- At 74.9% (125.6 million), prime-age adult IM workers — those aged between 25 and 54 years, both men and women — constituted the largest majority of IM workers in the labour force in 2022.
- Less than one out of 10 IMs were below 25.
- Only 9.3% were young IM workers, aged between 15-24 years, numbering 15.5 million, in the global labour force.
- IMs aged between 55-64 years were 12.5% and those above 65 at 3.4%.
