Best practices in fostering migration opportunities : do they work?

Author

  • Dacuycuy, Lawrence B.

Abstract

Looks at examples of good practices - at the country, bilateral, and multilateral levels, and with special focus on the Philippine experience - for maximizing opportunities for legal migration, especially temporary and circular labour migration. Examines the challenges faced by both labour sending and labour receiving countries and provides practical examples of how the capacities of each can be strengthened to facilitate cooperation in labour and skills exchange.
