Labour Migration for Employment - A Status Report for Nepal 2013/2014
Abstract:
Over the past decade, Nepal has experienced a surge in out-migration for foreign employment to various destination countries. As more and more Nepali citizens aspire and depart for foreign jobs, regulators and stakeholders face new challenges in managing the migratory cycle and ensuring the that well-being and rights of all migrant workers are safeguarded. This report is an important step to help government agencies and other stakeholders work towards the effective regulatory mechanisms that both protect and enhance migrant workers’ welfare. No consolidated report had previously been published by the Government regarding the status of labour migrants for foreign employment. Although several government institutions maintain a database of citizens who go abroad, the information had never been collated and analysed in a single report. Thus, this report presents information from the agencies that track some aspect of the migration cycle. The data was assessed and delineated in various dimensions. Additionally, the report highlights government-led initiatives at the policy and structural levels that promote safe migration and the rights and welfare of migration workers. The report provides commentary on the numerous challenges confronting the Government and suggestions for moving forward to overcome such challenges. This report is the first in what is anticipated to be a series of yearly migration status reports. This report is divided into five parts. The first part presents the nature and scope of the material, followed by a brief literature review of the past trends and the labour migration context. The second part touches on the country’s socio-economic and political conditions that have highly influenced the patterns of labour migration. The third part of the report describes the various laws, policies and structural mechanisms that govern labour migration for foreign employment. #Labour #Migration #Employment #ILO #IOM #GON #2014

Labour Migration for Employment A Status Report for Nepal: 2013/2014
Abstract:
This first national report on labour migration for foreign employment from Nepal is an outcome of collaborative effort between the Government and development partners to map the recent trends and practices. Over the past decade, a surge in out-migration for foreign employment to various countries has been occurring in Nepal. Although the history of emigration in search of better opportunities for Nepali people is not new, the high volume of individuals opting for foreign employment is unprecedented. The international distribution of labour is an integral component of the globalization process, and migration and foreign employment have characterized much of Nepal’s immersion with modernity. As well, migration and foreign employment have provided alternative livelihood opportunities to many people in the face of slow socio-economic growth. But they have also brought new challenges for the Government and policy-makers in managing safe labour migratory flows. Strengthening the governance process and policy frameworks that support safe labour migration is a crucial need in the current context. Effective international labour migration governance requires the Government to create cohesive legislation and policies that are oriented around protection of labour and human rights and the well-being of migrant workers. It is additionally imperative to ensure the effective implementation and enforcement of those policies and laws.
