The aim of the Handbook is to assist States in their efforts to develop new policy approaches, solutions, and practical measures for better management of labour migration in countries of origin and of destination. It has been prepared primarily for use by decision-
makers and practitioners in the OSCE area and countries served by IOM and ILO. It analyses effective policies and practices and draws upon examples from OSCE participating States as well as other countries that have considerable experience in this field.

Rather than an exhaustive and lengthy examination of labour migration in China, this descriptive analysis offers the brevity, clarity and the most recent data available to depict a rapidly changing environment, in terms of both policy and on-the-ground realities. Part 1 highlights some of the features of migrant workers and the migration process, Part 2 considers governmental and non-governmental policy and programme responses to the phenomenon, and Part 3 specifically looks at the role the International Labour Organization plays in supporting migrants’ transition into decent work in China’s towns and cities.

Today, half of all international migrants—95 million—are women and girls. Yet, despite substantial contributions to both their families at home and communities abroad, the needs of migrant women continue to be overlooked and ignored. The State of World Population 2006 report, A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration, examines the scope and breadth of female migration, the impact of the funds they send home to support families and communities, and their disproportionate vulnerability to trafficking, exploitation and abuse.
The report reveals that although migrant women contribute billions of dollars in cash and services, policymakers continue to disregard both their contributions and their vulnerability—even though female migrants tend to send a much higher proportion of their lower earnings back home than their male counterparts.

2005 - ILO. This training manual aims to raise awareness amongst labour inspectors, police,
government officials, employers’ organizations, trade unions, and others, on the issues of
trafficking, forced labour and job placement systems. More specifically, it focuses on the
recruitment of migrant workers into highly exploitative working situations that could
amount to forced labour.
The manual aims both to inform and guide on action. It provides information on
abusive recruitment practices and trafficking as well as the socio-economic factors that
facilitate the incidence of trafficking. The main emphasis, however, is on policy
measures, skills and techniques to be applied in curtailing these practices. It promotes
hands-on learning and encourages constant sharing and interaction among participants
who benefit from each other’s experience and ideas

This report aims to contribute to the development of a just and pragmatic policy towards undocumented migrant workers. There is an urgent need to find a solution to the ongoing exploitation and abuse of these workers. PICUM has made this report because it is committed to upholding the human rights of undocumented migrants and the labor conditions of all workers, including native workers. PICUM also recognizes that in order to safeguard social cohesion, this critical issue must be addressed.
This report presents a wide range of examples of the numerous ways in which
NGOs, trade unions and other actors uphold the rights of undocumented workers
in Europe and in the United States. PICUM aims for this report to bring support and inspiration to all of those who advocate for undocumented workers. The ten ways to protect undocumented migrant workers are briefly introduced below. For policy makers concerned about finding adequate solutions that are beneficial for all, PICUM has concluded this report with ten recommendations, which are summarized in the right column below.

Remittances explores policy options for enhancing the poverty alleviation impact of remittance money in recipient countries, and addressees concerns about increasing migration and inequality. It looks at new technologies that allow remittance service providers to reduce direct transaction costs and open new channels, enhancing convenience for remitters and improving levels of transparency and accountability for regulators and policy makers. Importantly, it also establishes a baseline for further research and collaborative effort, showing the areas where the international financial institutions, particularly the World Bank, can add value to enhance the positive impact of remittance flows and minimize less welcome effects.
