| description |
Pakistan’s migration system is limited
in its capacity to reduce risks and protect workers
throughout the migration process. The emigration ordinance
and rules, established in 1979 (and updated later), provide
a legal and institutional foundation for migration, but
significant efforts are required in their implementation and
enforcement. This report reviews Pakistan’s migration system
from the perspective of both governance and also the
migrants themselves. It is organized as follows: Chapter 2
assesses Pakistan’s current migration management system,
including its institutional and legal arrangements as well
as the functioning of the recruitment markets. Chapter 3
provides an overview of a typical Pakistani migrant’s
journey by walking through the various stages of migration
and the expected risks and benefits that influence decisions
(and, consequently, outcomes). Chapter 4 draws on global
evidence to propose unilateral and bilateral initiatives and
policy recommendations that promise to promote safe,
inclusive, and productive migration from Pakistan and to
maximize its development impact. Chapter 5 concludes the report. |
