Abstract: This paper analyses the trends, nature and extent of out-migration from South Asia and its neighbouring countries like Afghanistan and Iran and examines the economic implications in both sending and receiving countries. It also provides a detailed review on labour rights issues and trade union responses to migrationrelated issues. It aims to help all concerned parties set up a policy framework as well as legal instruments to harness the benefits of labour migration and build a protection regime for migrant workers.
