A/HRC/29/36 meet its 2020 employment targets, it will need to employ a mix of policies and reconsider how it utilizes the skills of non-European Union migrants. 80. In the context of such shifts, the European Centre for the Development of Vocational Training has projected that there will mainly be an increase in demand for workers with medium and high skill levels and that demand for workers with low skills will decrease. However, demand for low-skilled workers in 2025 is still projected to be significant, at around 43 million. This figure has to be viewed against the European Union 2020 target of increasing the proportion of citizens gaining a tertiary education, as well as the already rapid increases in those doing so. According to the Centre, between 2002 and 2013, a 13 per cent increase in the proportion of 30-34 year olds who have attended tertiary education and a 57 per cent increase in the absolute number of tertiary education graduates were recorded. 81. Another reason for adopting a human rights-based approach is the European Union’s need to remain globally competitive. The World Economic Forum has noted diverging trends between European countries, with some, such as Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom, being among the top-10 most competitive economies in the world, and others lagging behind. The highest-ranking European Union country was Germany, in fifth place, and the lowest-ranking was Greece, in eighty-first place.7 There is currently a low level of highly skilled labour migration from non-European Union countries to most member States owing to barriers to legal access and an informal reluctance by employers to hire from outside the region. This demonstrates how an approach defined by an emphasis on security can permeate all dimensions of migration. 82. Well-organized migration would allow member States to properly understand the skill level of non-European Union migrants and support realistic strategies for filling labour gaps and shortages in order to maintain and build global competitiveness. Migrants in irregular situations cannot be assumed to have low skill levels. Those that do can still contribute in important ways, given the aim of building the capacity of Europeans and the continued projected demand for low-skilled workers. 83. A well-organized migration policy based on mobility and human rights could also help the European Union to enhance its humanitarian and development impact. In 2013, migrants sent approximately $404 billion in remittances, as highlighted in the 2013 report of the Special Rapporteur. Migrants who moved from countries with a low human development index to countries with a higher index experienced, on average, a 15-fold increase in income, a doubling in education enrolment rates and a 16-fold reduction in child mortality. If the human rights of migrants are effectively promoted, respected and protected within well-governed migration processes, such development outcomes can be greatly enhanced. 84. Committing to a generational shift in migration policy that recognizes that external mobility can mirror the benefits of internal mobility, will better equip the European Union and its member States to deal with these economic, social and demographic changes in a way that sustains recovery, encourages growth and further develops global competitiveness. It will also allow the European Union to truly promote its founding values in its relations with the rest of the world, as envisaged in its Constitutional Treaty. 7 16 World Economic Forum, The Global Competitiveness Report 2014-2015 (Geneva, 2104).
