Migration’s Private-Sector Problem-Solvers

International cooperation among governments is necessary to help displaced people, but it is not always sufficient. The private sector is providing critical support for migrants as they travel through legal pathways and integrate into new communities, and its participation may be about to expand.

LONDON – As the Mediterranean migrant crisis has escalated over the past year, the spotlight has been on national governments’ policies, some of which have been generous, others callous.
