Bilateral labour agreements

Assessment guide for bilateral agreements and memoranda of understanding on labour migration, with a special focus on Bangladesh

Bilateral labour agreements and memoranda of understanding between countries of origin and countries of destination provide States with operational frameworks for regulating labour migration flows, ensuring conditions for decent work and protection of migrant workers, as well as for exchanging information on needs and trends of the labour market. They play an important role in ensuring that workers can effectively benefit from their overseas employment through effective social protection measures enabling them to live and work with dignity and without discrimination.
