Migration-Trafficking Nexus
There are approximately 258 million migrants worldwide. Considering the rising number and intensity of conflicts globally, this number is only expected to grow.

According to the Council of Europe, corporal punishment is the most widely spread form of violence against children.

How to Facilitate Successful Adult Learning Journey
It is not surprising that the fast-paced world has turned adult learning into a critical matter. However, the way adults choose to learn is different from that of younger children.

Endorsing Sustainable Pension System Design through Multi-Pillar Models
There are multiple models that have been suggested to describe a system of long-term provision for old age. One of the most renowned is the World Bank’s Multi-Pillar Model.
