The International Organization for Migration (IOM) Regional Data Hub for Asia and the Pacific has released the Asia–Pacific Migration Data Report 2025, which offers comprehensive and timely insights into regional migration trends.
During the virtual launch event, IOM Deputy Regional Director underscored the report’s fundamental importance for driving evidence-based policymaking and strengthening regional cooperation. The publication highlights key developments across international corridors, labour mobility, mixed migration routes, and addresses forced displacement resulting from conflict and disasters.
The report also examines the vulnerabilities faced by migrants and reviews the region's progress toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the Global Compact for Migration (GCM). The report is a resource for governments, researchers, and stakeholders, fully aligned with IOM's Strategic Framework.
The report highlights persistent barriers to rights and services for migrants and refugees, including lack of citizenship and civil documentation, which restrict access to protection and healthcare. Strengthening CRVS systems, particularly birth registration, remains essential for addressing statelessness and enabling inclusion in health and social services, thereby advancing durable solutions and migration governance objectives.
