Data Services for Governments
ILSI gives ministries access to anonymised, corridor-level migration and casework indicators to support evidence-based policymaking.
Good migration policy depends on good data, and origin-country ministries often have limited visibility into what happens to their nationals once they cross a border. ILSI's data services give governments a corridor-level evidence base drawn from real casework, without exposing any individual member's personal information.
What is available
- Corridor indicators. Aggregate patterns in case types, seasonal demand, and sector-level risk across each active corridor.
- Recruitment integrity signals. Aggregated patterns from our agent verification tool and scam alerts that can inform licensing and enforcement priorities.
- Reintegration outcomes. Aggregate data on returnee employment, skills use, and investment activity, supporting national development planning.
Privacy by design
All data shared with governments is aggregated and anonymised in line with ILSI's privacy policy. ILSI does not share an individual member's case details with any government without that member's explicit consent, except where safety or law requires it.
Researchers and analysts outside government can access equivalent aggregate indicators through our public data hub. Ministries wanting a tailored data briefing can request a briefing.
Why this data is hard to get elsewhere
Most official migration statistics are collected at points of formal registration — departure records, work permit issuance, remittance flows through the banking system — and say little about what happens to a worker between those points. ILSI's casework data sits precisely in that gap, generated in real time as members experience problems and resolutions, rather than reconstructed later through survey or administrative record. This is what makes it a useful complement to, not a replacement for, a government's own official migration statistics.
How ministries typically use it
Common uses include identifying which recruitment corridors or sectors are generating disproportionate casework relative to worker numbers, tracking whether a new bilateral agreement provision is visibly changing case patterns over time, and informing where consular resourcing or awareness campaigns might have the greatest impact. None of these uses require, or receive, access to identifiable individual member data. Where a ministry needs a view of data not currently included in the standard indicators, our data services team can discuss whether it can be added in aggregate, privacy-preserving form, subject to the same anonymisation standards applied throughout.
