COFA Migrants in Hawaiʻi: Economic Impacts and Opportunities

Hawaiʻi State Department of Business, Economic Development & Tourism. (2024). COFA Migrants in Hawaiʻi: Economic Impacts and Opportunities.

💥 What’s the Big Deal:


The Compacts of Free Association (COFA) enable citizens from Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, and Palau to live and work in the United States, with many settling in Hawaiʻi 🌺. This report sheds light on the economic contributions and challenges faced by COFA migrants in the state.

Key findings emphasize that while COFA migrants bring cultural richness and labor force contributions to critical sectors like healthcare, hospitality, and construction 🛠️, they also face barriers such as limited access to affordable housing, healthcare, and education. These challenges create vulnerabilities that impact not only the migrants but also Hawaiʻi’s broader social and economic stability.

The report calls for actionable solutions, including improving access to healthcare 🌡️, expanding affordable housing initiatives 🏠, and increasing educational and workforce development programs 🎓. By addressing these systemic challenges, Hawaiʻi can strengthen its economy, enhance social cohesion, and uphold its commitment to equity and inclusion 🌱.

For the Pacific region, supporting COFA migrants demonstrates leadership in regional cooperation and shared prosperity. This approach aligns with Hawaiʻi’s role as a bridge between cultures and its dedication to building a resilient, inclusive future for all 🌊.

Welcome to IMSPARK, Imagine Pacific Information Spark! In today's episode, we explore the path towards a prosperous Pacific region where no island is left in poverty, and every community thrives with equitable opportunities and shared prosperity.

💡 Imagined Endstate: 

A future where the Pacific Islands are interconnected, free from poverty, and flourishing with opportunities for all.

Our insights are drawn from the World Bank's March 2024 global poverty update. Read the full report here.

💥 What’s the Big Deal? 

The World Bank's update is a compelling call to action for the Pacific region 🌊. The economic challenges, compounded by geographical isolation, have left many Pacific communities 🏠 struggling with poverty. This report highlights the urgent need for targeted interventions to lift these communities out of poverty and into sustainable prosperity 🌱.

This isn't just about statistics; it's about real people. Ensuring that children in the Pacific have access to education 📘, families have food security 🍲, and communities can withstand economic and environmental challenges is crucial.

The potential for transformative change is immense. By leveraging technology, fostering regional cooperation 🤝, and promoting inclusive economic policies, the Pacific can move towards a future where poverty is a thing of the past. In this envisioned future, every individual's contribution is valued and integral to the region's growth and prosperity.

Join us in this critical discussion and discover how we can collectively work towards a future where prosperity touches every shore of the Pacific.
