Issue Paper: Fair Recruitment in International Labour Migration Between Asia and the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries
Abstract:
Migrant recruitment issues have come to the forefront of the international agenda in the recent past. Reducing the costs of labour migration is one of the UN Secretary General’s Eight-Point Agenda for Action items presented to 2013 UN High Level Dialogue on Migration and Development, as the high fees paid to recruiters reduces the impact of migration on development. The Conclusions of the ILO’s Tripartite Technical Meeting on Labour Migration, held in November 2013 urged the ILO to “develop guidance to promote recruitment practices that respect the principles enshrined in international labour standards” (ILO, 2013a). As part of the Fair Migration Agenda, the ILO has launched a Fair Recruitment Initiative as a multi-stakeholder exercise, and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is promoting the International Recruitment Integrity System (IRIS), an accreditation framework.
