Graduation is the process through which least developed countries (LDCs) cease to be members of the LDC category, in recognition of their advances in development. In principle, it marks a shift from dependency to a greater degree of self-sufficiency and emergence from the development "traps" which beset LDCs. However, the loss of access to international support measures (ISMs) tied to LDC status at graduation can give rise to important economic costs, including an estimated 3–4 per cent of export revenues in the case of trade preferences. During the 45 years since the establishment of the LDC category, only four countries have graduated from LDC status; and the Report's projections indicate that the target of half of the LDCs graduating by 2020 is unlikely to be met. This partly reflects the inadequacy of the existing ISMs. The projections also suggest a fundamental shift in the composition of the group, which by 2025 will consist almost entirely of African countries and include only one small-island economy. The Report argues that graduation should be viewed as part of a longer and broader development process, and emphasizes the need for "graduation with momentum" - an approach which goes beyond fulfilment of the statistical criteria for graduation to lay the foundations for future development. This means prioritizing structural transformation of the economy, development of productive capacities, upgrading technology and raising productivity. The Report highlights several policy areas essential to achieve "graduation with momentum" - rural transformation, industrial policy, science, technology and innovation policy, finance and macroeconomic policy, employment generation and women's empowerment. It calls on the international community to contribute by fulfilling their commitments in areas such as aid and technology. It also suggests possible revisions to the graduation criteria to reflect more appropriately issues such as structural transformation, environmental sustainability and gender equality.

This report documents the importance of the rural sector and agriculture in least developed countries (LDCs), through employment generation and economic activity. The discussion is placed in the perspective of the post-2015 development agenda, in which rural economic transformation will be vital for poverty eradication. It presents evidence on agricultural productivity dynamics in LDCs, discussing the importance of agricultural productivity for human development in rural areas, and analyzing the key elements driving agricultural productivity growth in these countries. It examines the synergies and complementarities between agricultural productivity growth and rural economic diversification. It discusses policies which need to be put in place.

The Migrant Integration Policy Index (MIPEX) Health strand is a questionnaire designed to supplement the existing seven strands of the MIPEX, which in its latest edition (2015) monitors policies affecting migrant integration in 38 different countries. The questionnaire measures the equitability of policies relating to four issues: (A) migrants’ entitlements to health services; (B) accessibility of health services for migrants; (C) responsiveness to migrants’ needs; and (D) measures to achieve change. The work described in this report formed part of the EQUI-HEALTH project carried out by the International Organization for Migration from 2013 to 2016, in collaboration with the Migrant Policy Group (MPG) and COST Action IS1103 (Adapting European health services to diversity). Part I of this report shows that many studies have already been carried out on migrant health policies, but because they tend to select different countries, concepts, categories and methods of measurement, it is difficult to integrate and synthesize all these findings. The MIPEX Health strand sets out to surmount this obstacle by collecting information on carefully defined and standardized indicators in all 38 MIPEX countries, as well as Bosnia and Herzegovina and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Part II describes the conceptual framework underlying the questionnaire and the way in which aspects of policy were operationalized and scored in the 38 indicators. This is followed in Part III by a detailed description of the pattern of results found in 34 European countries on each item in the questionnaire. Part IV reports the results of statistical analyses of collected data.

From a negative net migration for decades, Portugal shifted to an immigration country in the end of the 20th century. The first immigration flows were dominated by unqualified workers, mainly coming from African Portuguese Speaking countries (PALOP) that were former colonies. There are reports of some highly skilled immigrants that arrived in the 1990s, mainly from Brazilian and EU origin. The first time that Portugal truly started to face the challenge of receiving immigrants with higher education that were overqualified for the activities they were performing in the labour market was in the beginning of the 21st century with the arrival of Eastern Europeans. The Portuguese experience with different immigrant flows in the past three decades highlighted the existence of three different groups of highly skilled immigrants: the first of highly qualified immigrants at entrance to Portugal; the second composed by immigrants acknowledged as highly skilled after a process of equivalences and/or recognition of qualifications or after achieving a higher education in the Portuguese education system; and finally a third with potential highly skilled immigrants. The characteristics and specific needs of each group lead to challenges in integration policies and in the protection of rights, pressuring for the definition of new legislative pieces and the opening of new support services and programmes. The report highlights the developments of the past ten years in the policies (e.g. recognition of qualifications, action plans for immigrant integration) and measures (e.g. support offices to highly qualified immigrants; special programmes for the combat of overqualification of immigrants in needing professions such as the health sector) defined, targeting highly qualified immigrants in Portugal. Although Portugal did not yet transpose the EU Blue Card directive, since 2007 the Portuguese Immigration Act has foreseen two special legal titles for highly qualified immigrants’ entrance. Furthermore, several bilateral agreements have been defined between Portugal and other countries to either answer to specific needs of the Portuguese labour market (e.g. to bring health professionals) or to consolidate friendship and cooperation relations (e.g. arrival of students and professionals for additional training). As highlighted in the report, the challenges and vulnerabilities that highly qualified immigrants face in Portugal are mainly linked to whether immigrants’ qualifications are being used or not in the labour market, and/or being officially recognised or not. Hence, the integration needs and problems of the highly qualified immigrants in the country are characterised by four possible ideal types of highly skilled immigrants: (A) immigrants that have their equivalences recognised and are using them in the labour market; (B) immigrants that are working in higher education professions although their qualifications were not officially recognised; (C) immigrants that although had their qualifications recognised in Portugal are not using their education in the job they have; and (D) highly qualified immigrants that do not have both the recognition of qualifications and the use of them in the labour market. The differences of these four Ideal types raise different opportunities, challenges and integration needs for the immigrants. As discussed in the report, although the legal framework that defines the possibilities of the official recognition process of qualifications and equivalences is very important; it is furthermore relevant to analyse how the country is effectively using immigrants’ skills in the labour market (or, in contrast, is wasting human capital gathered with no costs to the country) and/or if it attracts highly skilled immigrants. The report concludes with a discussion on whether Portugal will be an attractive country to highly qualified immigrants in the future, to answer to the demand of certain professional sectors, when it is presently facing the emigration of Portuguese professionals that are unemployed due to, among other reasons, the fragile economic situation of the country
