Association for International Mobility

AIM’s Vision

An open, efficient, fair and sustainable system of human mobility worldwide.

AIM’s Three Principal Missions

  • To advance its vision of human mobility through persuasive advocacy.
  • To serve as a meeting place for support groups engaged with foreign communities and through them to identify the unmet needs of mobile populations.
  • To create profitable, mobility-based enterprises, especially through use of information technologies.

AIM’s Immediate Objectives

  • Publish the Labour Mobility Index and use it to encourage governments to work towards creative, fair and workable mobility strategies.
  • Create through internet links a global mobility corridor to enable migrants’ associations worldwide to interact and learn from one another.
  • Set up a series of internet-based overseas workers service platforms through pilot projects in cities of the Mediterranean, the CIS countries and South Asia.

AIM’s Longer-Term Objectives

  • New applications of information technology for the use and benefit of individuals with responsibilities in two or more countries.
  • Support for temporary, circular systems of international mobility with guarantees of status and rights for non-citizens.
  • Opportunities for investment back home by overseas workers, especially in job-creating micro-enterprises.
  • Resolution of disputes arising in the operation of international mobility systems.
