Protecting migrant workers from the Philippines

Patricia Sto. Tomas

ILO Working Papers from International Labour Organization

Abstract: Reviews policies and programmes the Philippines has adopted as an origin country to protect its migrant workers at different stages of migration - pre-deployment, at the worksite, and upon return. Looks in detail at features of regulatory frameworks for overseas employment, the varied mechanisms for disseminating clear and vital information to migrants and their families, and what institutional structures need to be present to ensure fair application of rules to migrants.
