Ethical Recruitment, Decent Employment and Skills Development

The Shared Responsibility Framework on Ethical Recruitment, Decent Employment and Skills Development for Migrant Workers in Thailand is published by IOM, in partnership with the Asian Research Centre for Migration (ARCM-CE) at Chulalongkorn University.

Notably, this Framework has further been endorsed by Thailand’s first Public Private Steering Committee on Migrant Employment, which was established in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour, employers’ confederations, business associations and academia.  

The Shared Responsibility lays down minimum standards as per Thai laws as well as international standards to support stakeholders in recruiting and employing migrant workers. It provides guidance on several aspects such as job placement and worker selection, recruitment fees and migration-related costs, workplace procedures and safety, access to State-based grievance mechanisms and access to skills training opportunities, among many others.
