   Labour migration policy and management: Training modules

   31 May 2006

   Workers in the Asian region are increasingly mobile, posing immense challenges and opportunities for the growth and development of countries of the whole region. If properly managed, with due respect for the rights of migrant workers, the cross-border movement of labour can contribute significantly to the continued dynamism of the regional economies. With these opportunities in mind, a Resolution on a rights-based approach to managing migration was adopted at the International Labour Conference in 2004. This manual presents the framework provided by the Resolution for discussing migration issues and identifying good practices. The training materials include 10 modules that cover the main topics in global and regional migration to further contribute to the strengthening of labour migration management in the subregion.

   01 May 2006

   The US Department of Labour joined forces with the ILO early on to back this initiative, supporting workplace education programmes through a project called the Strategic HIV/AIDS Responses by Enterprises (SHARE). Today this project supports work in 23 countries reaching about 300,000 workers in some 300 enterprises. This report tells the story of SHARE and brings you the experiences of some of the people directly affected. SHARE aims to: Reduce employment-related discrimination against persons living with HIV/AIDS; Reduce risk behaviours among workers; Facilitate access to treatment, care and support; Maintain employment of workers living with HIV/AIDS in the targeted enterprises.
