Application of Migration Policy for Decent Work of Migrant Workers
Men and women who opt for migrating abroad in search of employment will benefit from better protection (pre-departure orientation, international standard contracts, etc.) as the project will improve the overall migration policy and migration governance framework of Bangladesh. The project will also strengthen institutions responsible for managing migration, by building the capacity of the government and private sector to expand and improve services for migrant workers.

Contexto |
With 2 million young people joining the labour force every year, when only 500,000 jobs are created annually, Bangladesh will see worsening income inequalities and access to resources. International migration is a strategy for Bangladesh to help the young labour force to obtain employment overseas. Migration is important for the economy of Bangladesh: 5.5% or more of the labour force is employed overseas and remittances account for more than 9% of the Gross Domestic Product. Migration supports household incomes through remittances, which are used for better education, health care, water, sanitation and nutrition. |
Objetivos |
Men and women migrant workers will benefit from safe migration and decent work. |
Grupos destinarios |
The primary target beneficiaries of the project are the Bangladeshi migrants in the countries of destination as well as the potential Bangladeshi migrants who will emigrate from Bangladesh. It is expected that at least 2 million Bangladeshis will depart from the country in the project period, and at least 50% (i.e. 1 million migrants) will enjoy better protection of human and labour rights, once the policy is operational and the relevant institutions strengthened. |

Resultados |
Resultados previstos: Resultados de las fases anteriores: The Overseas Employment Policy and Migrants’ Act was prepared with support of the project and both were eventually approved by the Parliament. However, to operationalize the policy and act, there is need for revision of the existing rules and development of new rules (such as licensing of recruitment agencies and migrant workers welfare). In Phase 1, the project has also assisted to review government and private agencies dealing with migrant workers and identify gaps (such as organizational review of Bureau of Manpower, Employment and Training (BMET) and development of Code of Conduct for recruitment agencies). In Phase 2, the project will assist these agencies to improve their services according to the findings of the review (such as assisting BMET to obtain certification of quality) for delivery of services. |
