International migrants day 2023
Each year, International Migrants' Day is observed on 18 December. Designated by the United Nations General Assembly on 4 December 2000, in response to increasing migration around the world, the day aims to draw attention to migrants' human rights and highlight their contribution to our societies.
The International Migrants Day theme for 2023 is 'Honouring the contributions of migrants and respecting
their rights', which was chosen to raise awareness of the issue of exploitation and to highlight migrants'
positive contribution to our societies. The European Commission asserts that legal migration is an
investment in the economy and society.
The European Parliament has advocated a humane, solidarity-based and common approach to migration.
In its resolution of 25 November 2021, taking into consideration that total labour supply in the euro area is
projected to fall by 13 % (20 million people) between 2019 and 2070, the Parliament encouraged the
development of adequate legal economic migration channels.
