The book produced a number of recommendations. The most salient are:
. There should be bilateral labor agreements between the labor-exporting countries and the labor-importing countries according to the law of supply and demand in the international labor market. Also, secure humanitarian frameworks should be made available. These frameworks should organize, satisfy the immigration requirements and achieve the high levels of immigration interests both the exporting and importing countries.
. It should be considered imperative to implement the development programs creating job livelihood opportunities within the labor-exporting countries.
. Research studies should be conducted, focusing on the inclusion of immigration as key element within the national strategic plans for the comprehensive development. By so doing, the poverty will be minimized, and job opportunities will be provided. Upon the formulation of immigration policies and programs, the real partnership between the governments on one part and the private sector and civil society organizations on the other part can be utilized. Also, the government capabilities for addressing the immigration-related problems should be strengthened.
