This report presents the results of a survey conducted in mid-2015 among 7,295 internal labour migrants across all 14 states/regions in Myanmar. The respondents were interviewed about jobs in 13 industries in the private sector, including construction, mining, agriculture, manufacturing, fishing, forestry, domestic work and others. Analysis of the survey data points to patterns in the recruitment, migration, working and living conditions among respondents, as well as indicators of abuse and exploitation imposed on workers by employers and recruiters.

The Tripartite Action to Protect the Rights of Migrants Workers within and from the Greater Mekong Sub-region
(the GMS TRIANGLE project) aims to strengthen the formulation and implementation of recruitment and labour
protection policies and practices, to ensure safer migration resulting in decent work. The project is operational in
six countries: Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand and Viet Nam. In each
country, tripartite constituents (government, workers’ and employers’ organizations) are engaged in each of the
GMS TRIANGLE project objectives - strengthening policy and legislation, building capacity of stakeholders and
providing services to migrant workers. These goals are interdependent, with policy advocacy and capacity building
activities driven by the voices, needs and experiences of workers, employers and service providers.

There is a convergence of interests now among policy-makers within the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) towards strengthening labour migration
regimes by developing various institutional structures, processes and modalities of cooperation. The ILO Multilateral Framework on Labour Migration has identified
a number of guidelines on how best to promote international cooperation on labour migration. This paper will provide examples of cooperation under these guidelines and convey an understanding of the ‘state of the art’ in policies and programmes initiated with the cooperation of various actors in the ASEAN region, including governments at both national and local levels, civil society, the private sector, international organizations and multilateral and regional institutions. More specifically, it aims to explore how links amongst these various actors are created, strengthened and maintained, including the administrative structures put in place to support these cooperative mechanisms.

The report provides a broad-based quantitative analysis of the current and emerging trends in international labour migration into, from, and among the ten Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The report analyses some of the most common drivers underpinning these trends and argues that labour migration is likely to increase within the region over the short and medium term. The report’s key findings are drawn from the national level data collected through the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) International Labour Migration Statistics (ILMS) Database in ASEAN. Its recommendations draw upon these findings as well as the available meta-data, to identify solutions and key directions for building a stronger evidence base to help improve policies on international labour migration in ASEAN.

This publication aims to contribute to a better understanding of the challenges for compliance in the domestic work sector. It also identifies how countries have defined policies and practices to provide better services to domestic workers and their employers in the domain of working conditions, with a specific focus on labour inspection. The guide provides information in a user-friendly manner, aiming to assist member States to identify practical measures to address non-compliance issues and to better shape the action of relevant institutions, in particular labour inspectorates, to bring the laws protecting domestic workers into practice.

The ILO undertook this study with the Global Alliance Against Trafficking in Women (GAATW). It explores whether Nepal’s age ban deterred younger women from migrating for domestic work and improved working conditions for women migrant domestic workers over 30 years of age. It also explores to what extent the age ban and other bans have had unintended consequences for women, including an increase in irregular migration and trafficking in persons. Finally, it highlights steps the women themselves propose be taken to improve their migration experiences.
