The total number of Thai workers overseas has significantly increased over the last decade. The figures grew 1.3 times for year 2009-2019. This presentation shares the plans of the Thailand Government in order to promote decent work in global supply chains, particularly its efforts in crafting and implementing policies that benefit Thailand’s migrant workers.

This presentation discusses recent trends and changes in labor migration policies for domestic workers.

Cambodia has adopted a policy framework that protects and empowers migrant workers regardless of their gender and status through all stages of the migration process.

In Asia, there is a need to ensure equal treatment to migrant domestic workers under national labor laws and improve their access to legal information and social services.

Singapore is largely dependent on a transient population of migrant women to cook, clean, and care. It has adopted policies and better approaches to improve the protection and working conditions of these women but many challenges remain.
