This paper focuses on the social issues associated with international labour migration among the countries of the Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) region, and examines relevant policy issues for both origin and destination countries, as well as for international organisations. Its findings include: that the social policy implications discussed also apply to internal migration within countries and particularly rural-to-urban migration; and that migration will continue to be a significant social factor which must be addressed by policy-makers.

This paper, published as part of the ESCAP series Studies in Trade and Investment, explores the linkages between trade, labour mobility and development in the Asia-Pacific region. The paper moves from an analysis of recent trends in regional labour mobility through an examination of the connections between trade, migration and development. Finally it considers how migration could be better governed at the multilateral, regional and bilateral levels. A central theme of the paper is that, when properly governed, labour mobility can deliver large and sustained development gains. Improving cross-border labour market access, particularly for people from developing countries, therefore needs higher prioritization by regional policymakers. At the same time, the concerns of receiving country populations around higher levels of immigration also need to be addressed. Striking this balance will require, in particular, the expansion and further adoption of co-operative agreements between sending and receiving countries which provide labour market access in return for more cooperation in migration management and enforcement.

Labour migration in the Asia-Pacific is dynamic and growing. Variable economic growth, deepening regional integration, and growing disparities in wealth, both within and among countries, have created strong incentives for workers to relocate across borders. Patterns of migration are also becoming more complex: the traditional concept of labour migration as being from 'South' to 'North' is no longer accurate to capture the nuanced patterns of flows across the Asia-Pacific. There is a broad consensus that international labour mobility can contribute positively to development and poverty reduction under certain conditions. The ability to earn higher salaries abroad is broadly good for migrants and their families, and for communities remaining behind in the sending countries. Further, contrary to widespread beliefs that inward migration is socially and economically harmful, receiving countries can also benefit from the skills and economic dynamism brought by new arrivals. But there are also costs involved with migration including: high transaction costs for migrants themselves, low levels of protection for workers' rights, and high human and social costs associated with distance from places of origin. Migration, when not well-managed, can also raise social tensions. Unlike international trade, mechanisms for international governance of migration are underdeveloped. However, some regional initiatives, including regional trade agreements, are increasingly including provisions on migration. This paper reviews recent labour migration trends in the Asia-Pacific region. This is followed by a discussion of the main channels which link labour migration and development combined with analysis of policies that can enhance the developmental impact of migration. Finally, regional co-operation initiatives in the area of migration are summarized and proposals for reform at the regional and bilateral level are advanced.

This issue of “International Migration” is devoted to the Seventh ICM Seminar, which examined the economic and social aspects of voluntary return migration. After statements by the Director General and by guest speakers, thirteen expert papers are presented in English, followed by summaries of the debates, conclusions, and recommendations in English, French, and Spanish. The topics covered by the expert papers include: the different forms, reasons, and motivations for voluntary return migration; the meaning, kinds, and consequences of return migration; problems confronting migrants on their return to their countries of origin; the return of international labour migrants in the ESCAP region; measures which host countries and countries of origin might adopt to promote the return of migrants; measures to facilitate the reintegration of migrants into their country of origin; programmes to encourage the return of talent and reverse the 'brain drain'; measures to facilitate the return and reintegration of highly skilled migrants into African countries; and, the various reasons for voluntary return migration. The summaries, conclusions and recommendations are grouped under five sub-themes, as follows. Sub-theme a) considers the different forms, reasons and motivations for voluntary return migration. It was recommended that information and counselling services to migrants should be improved, and that researchers should identify the motives for the return of different groups and clarify the problems they face on their return. Sub-theme b) considers return migration in the context of overall migration, and points out the lack of data, especially on the problems faced by women. Recommendations include the need to study the effects of return migration on the migrant family as a whole. Sub-theme c) considers the problems of reintegration faced by those returning, particularly by second-generation migrants. Coordination in research was recommended, and also that migrants should be accurately informed, before leaving their host country, about conditions they will encounter, including an up-to-date evaluation of their employment opportunities. Sub-theme d) concentrates on measures to ease the reintegration of returnees, which could be taken by, firstly, the host countries and, secondly, the countries of origin. Recommendations included the suggestion that the ICM and other international organizations should expand their activities in this field. The specific needs of the children of returning migrants should be provided for in both the host country and in their country of origin. Sub-theme e) considers measures to facilitate the return and reintegration of highly-skilled migrants into developing countries. The recommendations include the suggestion that the experience gained in ICM's Return of Talent Programmes in Latin America and Africa makes a useful base which might be expanded. Regional skill pools might be set up, to achieve regional self-sufficiency in certain needed skills and avoid to their loss through emigration. Aid which helps developing countries to strengthen their educational and training capabilities might encourage the return and reintegration of skilled migrants. The volume is completed by an extensive bibliography of material published, in several languages, on the subjects covered by the seminar.

Social protection is a fundamental right and serves as an enabler for achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Social protection has been identified as one of the key enablers for implementing the 2030 Agenda and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In most countries, however, large population groups remain unprotected from normal life contingencies. Meanwhile, unprecedented demographic transformations are underway, and the changing world of work introduces new risks for the majority of workers currently occupying jobs in the informal sector. This publication will provide the evidence and impetus to progressively realize social protection for all over the next decade (Decade for Action), based on country-specific contexts, opportunities and challenges.

One of the primary objectives of the ASEAN Economic Community (AEC), established in 2015, was to boost skilled labor mobility within the region. This insightful book takes stock of the existing trends and patterns of skilled labor migration in the ASEAN. It endeavors to identify the likely winners and losers from the free movement of natural persons within the region through counterfactual policy simulations. Finally, it discusses existing issues and obstacles through case studies, as well as other sectoral examples.
