Solutions to Achieve Fair and Ethical Recruitment and Decent Work of Migrant Workers in Thailand during COVID-19 Recovery

January 27, 2022

UNDP, in collaboration with the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Ministry of Labour, the Ministry of Justice, and the International Labour Organization (ILO) developed the Policy Paper on Solutions to Achieve Fair and Ethical Recruitment and Decent Work of Migrant Workers in Thailand during COVID-19 Recovery. 

The paper includes consolidated inputs from 78 key stakeholders consulted during the four processes. It was then reviewed by partner organizations from the United Nations, the private sector, and civil society and presented to counterparts from both Ministries in Mid-January 2022.

This paper documents the outcomes of the public–private consultations aimed to identify gaps, challenges and opportunities in the design, enforcement and monitoring of policies, processes and procedures related to labour migration for lower-waged migrant workers in Thailand. By doing so, it aims to provide the Royal Thai Government with guidance to inform the review, development and implementation of evidence-based policies that are consistent with its commitments in global frameworks and inter-state coordination mechanisms such as the Sustainable Development Goals, and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration.
