'More comfort' and 'more welfare' called vital for attracting migrants

Greater care for the well-being of immigrants would help China attract more high-level talent, according to migration experts.

William Lacy Swing, general director of the International Organization of Migration, said migrants to China remain inadequately integrated into development frameworks at national and local levels.

The organization released the Chinese version of its 2013 World Migration Report in Beijing on May 19, which pointed out that the general well-being of migrants from north to south - from high-income countries to low-income countries - is less satisfactory than of those who migrate from south to north.
