Labour Migration from Pakistan: 2015 Status Report Labour migration from Pakistan: 2015 status report Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Government of Pakistan Islamabad Labour migration from Pakistan: 2015 status report i Labour migration from Pakistan: 2015 status report ii Labour migration from Pakistan: 2015 status report Foreword We are delighted with the publication of the first national report on the status of labour migration from Pakistan. The surge in migration for foreign employment has brought profound changes in the socio-economic fabric of the country. Although the labour migration phenomenon has emerged as an alternative livelihood opportunity for many Pakistani households, it poses new challenges for the Government and policy-makers in managing safe migratory flows to destination countries. A strength- ening of the migration governance system is needed in the current context and that requires reliable and easily accessible data that informs the present situation and provides a basis for future interven- tions. The singing of Pakistan’s third Decent Work Country Program 2016-2020 by the Ministry of Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development, the Employers Federation of Pakistan, the Pakistan Workers Federation and the ILO in May 2016 reiterates our joint commitment to protect the rights of migrant workers and build effective institutions. This report captures trends in labour migration from Pakistan, identifies the structural gaps and sug- gests ways to move forward for the Government and stakeholders. Although various government agen- cies have maintained and published data on numerous aspects of labour migration, no one source had assembled all the pieces into one report. This report fills that gap and goes beyond to highlight the achievements of the Government as well as remaining challenges. It presents a guide for policy-makers, international agencies, local NGOs, academics, journalists and any other actors to use when investigat- ing and addressing labour migration issues, particularly when ensuring that the rights of migrants are protected at all stages of the migration cycle. This report is the outcome of a long and trusting partnership between the Ministry of Overseas Paki- stanisand Human Resource Development and the International Labour Organization. The staff of PPU and ILO have worked tirelessly to give birth to this report. We hope this report will be the first in a series of yearly reports and that all stakeholders will continue to cooperate to promote safe migration.

Introduction 1.1 Background The world faces immense challenges of sustainable development. Billions of people continue to live in poverty and are deprived of a life of dignity. Unemployment, particularly youth un- employment, is a major concern. Like other developing countries, Pakistan is confronted with problems of massive poverty and unemployment due to a rapid increase in its population and labour force. With such a huge working-age population in Pakistan, an increasing number of workers have moved to other countries for employment; after India, Pakistan annually sends abroad the sec- ond-largest grouping of workers in South Asia, mainly to the Gulf region.

  • Section 3 - Policy and Migration in South Asia
    Section 3 - Policy and Migration in South Asia Information on Migration Policies The original hypotheses of the project were: Government policy, which aims to control migration flows, generally has the effect of making migration more hazardous for individual migrants. Policy-making is usually reactive, responding to changes and crises, rather than anticipating them. The focus of this research has been on emigration and immigration policy, the assumption being that it is this policy that most directly affects those involved in international migration. In all of the countries of South Asia there are, in fact, few restrictions on who can migrate. In most cases, however, it is difficult to find any clear statement of specific country policy on migration. One possible source of information on emigration policy is government institutions concerned with migration, such as the Sri Lanka Bureau of Foreign Employment and the Overseas Pakistani Foundation. In many cases these institutions provide general statements of intent rather than specifics. Far more useful are the various recent analyses of policy, such as Mahmood (1998) on Bangladesh, Nair (1998) on India, Seddon et al (2000) on Nepal, Addleton (1992) on Pakistan, and Gunatilleke (1998a) and Gamburd (2000) on Sri Lanka. Appleyard (1998) provides an overview of these analyses, which vary considerably in approach and in the level of detail provided. There are a large range of sources and analyses of immigration policy for receiving countries, which are often more clearly stated because of their importance. In this report I have chosen to look in some detail at examples for each of the main receiving regions for South Asian migrants.

  • "The Future of International Migration To
    The Future of International Migration to OECD Countries Regional Note South Asia PROF. BINOD KHADRIA, JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY NEW DEHLI, INDIA Foreword In the course of the project ‘The Future of International Migration’ carried out by the OECD/IFP Secretariat in 2008/2009 a number of regional notes were commissioned from leading experts to help shed light on the diversity of situations and future migration trends in different parts of the non-OECD world. The aim of the regional notes was to provide a largely qualitative, personal assessment of the likely evolution in factors in the principal non-OE CD regions which could influence outflows of people either in the form of intra-regional migration or, of particular significance to this exercise, to OE CD countries, through to 2025/2030. More specifically, the experts were asked to give some consideration to the most likely trajectory that outward migration might take in the years ahead, together with some speculation about possible “wildcards” (unexpected events or developments which could impact significantly on pressures to migrate to OE CD countries). A regional note on India/Pakistan/Bangladesh was written by Prof. Binod Khadria, (Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi). Sub-Saharan Africa was covered by Laurent Bossard (OE CD Club de Sahel). Jeff Ducanes and Manolo Abella (ILO Regional Bureau, Bangkok) submitted a note on China and South East Asia/Asia Pacific. A note on North and East Africa was prepared by Flore Gubert and Christophe Jalil Nordman (DIAL , IRD, France). Jorge Martinez Pizzaro (CEPAL , Chile) drafted a note on Latin America. The Russian Federation and Eastern and South East Europe were covered by Prof.
