International Development Youth Forum (IDYF) 2025, an international student-led initiative that will be held in Tokyo, Japan, from August 13th to 20th, 2025. Since its founding in 2013, IDYF has brought together passionate young leaders from around the world to explore and propose solutions to pressing development issues, guided by academic and professional insights.
This year, our theme is:
“Pathways to Inclusive Development with Migrants: Designing a Triple-Win Scenario.”
As part of our program, we will explore the situation of migrant workers from South Asia to neighboring regions as one of two central case studies. We believe this case presents vital lessons for achieving inclusive development in the age of transnational labor mobility, making it a key focus for our participants’ collaborative problem-solving efforts.
