Good practices database - Labour migration policies and programmes

Expansion of the global knowledge base on labour migration forms a key component of the ILO Plan of Action for migrant workers contained in the Resolution on a Fair Deal for Migrant Workers adopted by the 92nd Session of the International Labour Conference, June 2004.

The International Migration Programme of the ILO offers access here to worldwide good practices on labour migration implemented by governments, social partners and civil society in both countries of origin and destination, as well as regional and international institutions. Most of these practices are included in the ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration (Annex II), and relevant information has been expanded and updated for the development of this database. In order to make information readily available, the database is being launched with a limited number of practices which will be progressively expanded. Good practices are identified on the basis of a specific set of criteria included in an evaluation matrix designed and tested by the International Migration Programme of the ILO.

It is our hope that the good practices database on labour migration would assist constituents in member states in their efforts to developing and improving migration policies and programmes to maximise benefits of labour migration and minimise its negative consequences.

The ILO International Migration Programme acknowledges the financial support provided by the Department for International Development (DFID), UK, in establishing this online database.
