The paper published in the ILO Perspectives on Migration series, addresses a theme popular in recent
literature on migration and development – the role of transnational communities or diasporas as contributors to
the development of their countries of origin. It first looks at definitional issues followed by a review of
information on estimates of the diaspora and their profiles. The author then discusses the nature of diverse
contributions of the diaspora and highlights areas for further research.

Protecting the rights of migrant workers: A shared responsibility -
(pdf 161 KB)
ILO, ISBN 978-92-2-122171-5, 2009
What is the connection between protection of migrant rights and development?
How are countries singly or jointly protecting the rights of migrants? The ILO paper
"Protecting the rights of migrant workers: A shared responsibility" seeks to address these questions
and related issues. It was initially prepared as an ILO contribution to the Second Meeting of the Global
Forum on Migration and Development, which took place in Manila from 27 to 30 October 2008. The ILO hopes
the paper will serve as a useful tool to governments, employers' and workers' organizations and all other
stakeholders who are keen to improve protection of their workers abroad as well as migrant workers in
their countries.

This study, published in the ILO International Migration Papers series (No.98), has grown out of a
collaborative project with the UNHCR during 2004-2006. Its focus is on one of the world's largest and most
longstanding refugee and displacement problems - the Afghan refugee population. The study is based on a
comprehensive research exercise involving large field surveys of Afghan households, and establishments
employing Afghan workers, and case studies of selected households in addition to desk research.
The objective was to gain greater insights into the socio-economic situation of the long-staying
Afghan refugee population including the second generation, and their impact on the host country economy
and labour markets. The findings indicate the marginal position of Afghan households and workers in the
Iranian economy even after decades of stay. |
