The Migration Opportunity
The Migration Opportunity envisions a world where people in need can safely and legally access better lives and livelihoods across borders if they want to. Our mission is to stand up and resource the emerging field of labor mobility because enabling people to move for opportunity is the most powerful yet neglected tool to address global income inequality. We run the global mobility program of the Talent Mobility Fund.

GDI’s role
The Migration Opportunity started as a GDI research effort, titled People on the Move, to complement our portfolio of initiatives across refugee livelihoods, anti-trafficking, and labor mobility. Now, The Migration Opportunity is an in-house initiative that aims to direct funding to high-impact opportunities that advance global mobility. GDI does this by identifying a portfolio of pioneering organizations tackling barriers to global labor mobility; advising donors on migration strategy and giving opportunities; and developing thought leadership to amplify and mainstream labor mobility.
