Summary: | At present, migration has the highest growth rates, a trend that is maintained, putting pressure on
all states for its good governance. In this context, the aim of the paper is a comparative analysis, at global,
regional and European level, of the implementation of measures in the areas of migration policies,
according to target objective 10.7.2 of the 2030 Agenda, to ensure a Safe, Orderly, Regular and Responsible
Migration and mobility of people. In order to operationalize the follow-up of the situation on the fulfilment
of this objective, based on the migration governance framework, MiGOF, six key political areas were
established, each with five defining subcategories in its structure, followed in almost all the countries of
the world. The overall indicator 10.7.2 obtained by aggregating the scores of the 30 resulting subcategories
and the six domains constitutes a comprehensive and complex instrument at the disposal of the states, based
on which these can identify concrete measures and actions, necessary to be undertaken to fulfil the proposed
general objective.
The data on indicator 10.7.2 are available as a result of two surveys, carried out in 2018-2019 and
2020-2021, through the international migration module of the United Nations, for 138 countries,
representing 70% of the 197 states included in the last inquiry. The application of these policies is very
uneven between countries, this is also the case in Europe. The evaluation of the surveyed data, as well as
the analysis of migration policy networks, allows the identification of the most important measures applied
in European countries, as well as those with the lowest performances, which require consistent revisions
by governments in order to achieve their integration goals of migrants.
