Towards a fair deal for migrant workers in the global economy. Report 92 VI

In practically every region the rising mobility of people in their search for decent work and human security has been commanding the attention of policy-makers and prompting dialogues for multilateral cooperation on how to better manage the flows in the interest of protecting human rights, maximizing migration’s contribution to growth and development, and preventing clandestine flows and trafficking. This report has been prepared with these in mind. It links the ILO’s concerns with those of other recent initiatives in the field, incorporates new research and data, and synthesizes the lessons that can be drawn from the experience of both origin and host countries in seeking to manage migration to improve the treatment and conditions of migrant workers and members of their families. The analysis offered by the report can hopefully provide a basis for formulating sound recommendations for future action and for the active engagement and participation of the ILO’s constituents in their realization.
