http://www.weforum.org/ Open Forum - Labour Wanted: Locals Preferred With growing economic integration and changing demographic trends, migration is putting pressure on national governments. Key actors in the labour market, such as businesses, want governments to facilitate the movement of people across national borders. The agenda points are: 1) What are the implications of migration flows and their related risks? 2) What are the responsibilities of government and business in enhancing the integration of foreign workers? 3) How should society act to avoid the onset of racial intolerance? A session in collaboration with the Swiss Red Cross Wolfgang Auwärter-Kuhn, Chief Executive Officer, Kuhn Rikon, Switzerland Daniel Biedermann, Director, Swiss Red Cross, Switzerland Didier J. Cherpitel Philip J. Jennings, General Secretary, UNI Global Union, Switzerland Susan F. Martin, Director, Institute for the Study of International Migration, Georgetown University, USA Brunson McKinley, Director-General, International Organization for Migration (IOM), Geneva Moderated by Hannes Britschgi
