ESCAP - 2011. "This report analyzes migration issues that have layers of these socio- and economic complexities. Analysis is made from two approaches which are reflected in the country reports and thematic chapters. The country reports provide overviews of the migration situation of 10 countries: Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, the Islamic Republic of Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Turkey while the thematic chapters contain an analysis of regional migration trends and issues from eight different perspectives, namely environment and climate change, gender, health, labour migration, policy and international cooperation, protection of the rights of migrant workers, refugees and stateless persons, and remittances."

ESCAP - 2011. "This paper reviews recent pattens of international migration from Pacific Island countries and concludes that migration has generally increased over the past decade but patterns vary between countries and sub-regions. Some countries not previously involved in temporary labour migration are now sending workers abroad. Transnational communities have continued to grow in the main destination countries but the proportion of the total ethnic community that is overseas born is also increasing. Similarly, migrant remittances have increased to high levels in and arecrucial to the maintenance of consumption levels and social welfare in several countries. Migrant remittances generally reduce the proportion of the population in poverty, but the future sustainability of remittance flows is in doubt in the smaller Pacific countries as the commitment of second-generation migrants to the "home" community weakens. The loss of human capital resulting from the emigration of skilled workers is a concern in some countries. National sustainable development strategies do not pay sufficient attention to the issue of international migration and there is a need for institutional strengthening to address this. There is also a need to develop a research network and strategy for the region to assist planners to better understand the implications of migration patterns and to formulate appropriate policy responses. Policy dialogue among Pacific countries would assist planners to identify those policies that would assist countries to gain benefits from the migration process and mitigate the costs."

ILO 2011. Migration for work may provide opportunities for a better life to migrant men, women and their families, but it may also lead to labour exploitation, indebtedness or human trafficking if they are not prepared and lack basic management skills. When migrant workers know how to plan and make financial decisions, they can realize their goals in life.

ILO - December, 2011. "This brochure presents the provisions of the Domestic Workers Convention No. 189 and Recommendation No. 201. These new standards, adopted in June 2011, are a strong recognition of the economic and social value of domestic work and a call for action to address the existing exclusions of domestic workers from labour and social protection. Given that most domestic workers are women, the new standards are an important step to advance gender equality in the world of work and ensure women’s equal rights and protection under the law."

IOM - 2011. "The World Migration Report 2011 presents available evidence on public perceptions and attitudes regarding migration globally. It analyses the way in which they are shaped and how they can influence and be influenced by policy as well as the media. Furthermore, the media’s role in communicating opinions, reporting trends and framing migration discourse is analysed. Examples of good practice in communicating a positive and balanced image of migrants among government, civil society and the media are also included. Finally, the report suggests several ways to improve communication about migration in order to promote a better understanding and recognition of the benefits of migration, more evidence based policymaking and effective engagement with migrants themselves.

IOM MRTC - 2011. This is research from IOM MRTC Special Issues in Migration Series No. 01. This publication consolidates and presents the key outcomes of the IOM MRTC Global Migration Trends project. The Trends project was launched in 2010 to provide a web-based and user-friendly means to help readers stay up to date on global migration research and policy trends, and it sampled issues from various countries around the world. The six articles in this publication were originally presented in 2010 in Korean language only on the MRTC website, under the Global Migration Trends project. This publication is focused specifically on the reports from and about the migration issues in the Republic of Korea (hereafter, Korea). In this new presentation, the topics are divided into six main groups of migrants residing in Korea: 1) migrant workers, 2) marriage migrants, 3) ethnic Koreans with foreign nationality, 4) migrant children, 5) refugees and 6) North Korean defectors. Each author provides us with a comprehensive overview of the current inflow of each migrant group and the most relevant policy and legal changes, and identifies current challenges and future prospects.

Mekong Migration Network (MMN) - 2011. "Legally Binding is a concise guide to understanding labour standards according to the national labour laws of the six GMS countries. Labour protection has been classified into 14 key elements, with relevant international laws also included. It is essential to gain an understanding of the labour protections available to migrant workers according to each GMS country’s national labour laws for two main reasons: firstly, to enable policy makers and advocates to have informed discussions about labour protection; and secondly, to strengthen bilateral and/or regional collaboration and coordination in promoting and protecting the rights of migrant workers.
