Migration & Immigration
Migration and immigration patterns present both challenges and opportunities for Latin America's governments, economies and people. The region's varying trends - ranging from voluntary migration for work to movement spurred by ongoing conflict and crisis - have as many consequences as they do causes.
Join Canning House for our panel discussion as we look to assess...
How effectively have Latin American governments responded to key trends?
What are the region's drivers of voluntary and involuntary migration?
How does Latin America fit into global migration patterns?
...and other important questions.
This event will be presented on Zoom.
