Recommended guidelines for migrant recruitment policy and practice in the Greater Mekong Sub-Region
These recommended guidelines emphasise the importance of improving recruitment processes in order to encourage safe migration and reduce the potential vulnerability of migrant workers to labour exploitation, including the worst forms of child labour and human trafficking.
The guidelines address key issues of recruitment in the context of labour migration within the sub-region. They will form the basis for continuing dialogue on migrant recruitment policy and practice and the development of implementing strategies. The guidelines have been developed to cover the key issues associated with recruitment for labour migration, with an emphasis on cross-border migration. The guidelines allow for adaptation in accordance with each country’s circumstances.
The recommended guidelines were developed through a consultative process involving tripartite constituents, international agencies and concerned nongovernment organisations in the Greater Mekong Sub-region. The guidelines build on research projects in each of the countries, existing regional and international instruments and outcomes from national and sub-regional consultations.
