Human Development Report 2009

UNDP's annual Human Development Report was recently launched. The 2009 edition is titled “Overcoming barriers: human mobility and development”, focusing on the underlying inequalities in migration issues both within and beyond borders. The report takes into account the impacts of migration on country or place of origin and destination as well as the question how migration can foster human development. In addition the HDR offers the comprehensive overview of Human Development Indicators for 2009.
