Fishing: Social protection

Migrant fishers

Migrant fishers are often faced with special problems resulting from working outside of their own countries. 

"The Mekong Challenge - Underpaid, Overworked and Overlooked: The realities of young migrant workers in Thailand" is an in-depth bilingual report by the ILO’s International Programme on the Elimination of  Child Labour (IPEC)  and Mahidol University's Institute for Population and Social Research. The report examines human rights violations of young migrant workers, including child fishers.
