Skills development is recognized as essential to poverty reduction and enhanced protection for migrant workers, and can contribute to increased productivity and job satisfaction for migrant workers. Skills development also optimizes the employability of migrants in labour markets in countries of origin and destination, as well as ensuring decent work in labour migration. Responsive and more inclusive skills development for women and men migrant workers can thus create positive spill over effects on economic growth for countries of origin and destination, as well as on positive migration outcomes for migrants.
This paper presents the recommendations on enhancing skills development for migrant workers across Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic and Thailand that were discussed during the Conference.
