Safe, orderly and regular migration is key for sustainable development and regional integration. Germany 🇩🇪 is proud to be a long-standing supporter of the @_AfricanUnion in promoting labour migration on the continent.
Africa’s migrant workers have risen to 13.1 million, up from 9.3 million in 2010, according to the newly released Fourth Edition of the Labour Migration Statistics Report in Africa. Women account for only 37% of these workers, while men make up 63%.
Of the continent’s 26 million international migrants, 20.4 million are of working age, and 64% are actively in the labour force. West and East Africa together host 48% of all international migrants, while West, East and Southern Africa account for 78% of migrant workers.
The report was officially launched on 31 July 2026 during the Ministerial Session of the Sixth Ordinary Session of the African Union Specialised Technical Committee on Social Development, Labour and Employment (#STC_SDLE_6) in Windhoek, Namibia.
Speaking at the launch, H.E. Amb. @amma_twumamoah , AU Commissioner for Health, Humanitarian Affairs and Social Development, stressed the importance of data: “We cannot effectively govern what we do not adequately measure.” She highlighted that timely, reliable, comparable and disaggregated migration data remains a priority for the African Union.
It also shows remittances to Africa growing from USD 64.8 billion in 2013 to USD 97.5 billion, with Northern Africa receiving 45% and West Africa 34%. It is produced every two years under the Joint Labour Migration Programme (#JLMP).
