Title
Understanding Relevant Sustainable Development Goal Targets Related to Labour Migration in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations During the Coronavirus Disease Pandemic
Description
This report is divided into four chapters. Chapter 1 explains the background and context for this study. Chapter 2 provides an overview of impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of migrant workers, as well as different aspects of labour migration. Chapter 3 presents a step-by-step analysis of how the current crisis will impact different SDGs relevant to migrants, and provides an analytical basis for determining the welfare requirements of migrant workers with a special emphasis on providing them with decent work (SDG 8). Chapter 4 summarises key recommendations made by civil society groups and academics, notes further areas for research, and lists areas for further ASEAN engagement in ensuring the rights of cross-country migrant workers and enhancing regional cooperation amongst the AMS, all of which will help to progress SDG targets in the future.
