Summary
This report aims to give an overview of current global, regional and European policies and initiatives that address international labour migration and analyses the challenges from a decent work and rights-based perspective. The report outlines the policy framework around international labour migration in a development context and then examines the migration trends in three world regions (South-East Asia focusing on the Philippines; West Africa focusing on Senegal and Mali; and the Andean countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru), including interviews carried out with returned migrant workers who tell us about their experiences of working in Europe.
