https://www.adb.org/publications/labo...

Labor Migration in Asia: COVID-19 Impacts, Challenges, and Policy Responses analyzes the region’s labor migration outlook, corresponding economic and policy developments, and changes caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. It overviews labor migration to and from different Asian economies and details policy approaches in major origin and destination economies of labor migrants.

Chapter 1 examines the latest regional trends, including the pandemic’s effects on labor migration flows and remittances. Chapter 2 looks at migrant job losses and COVID-19 infections, as well as policy responses to the pandemic in terms of healthcare access, occupational safety and health, housing, social protection, and the resumption of labor migration. Chapter 3 focuses on return and reintegration challenges and policy measures in the wake of the pandemic.

The report provides up-to-date comparative statistics on labor migration flows in, to, and from Asia. Two statistical annexes offer detailed economy fact sheets and coverage of intra-Asia and cross-regional migration flows.

This report draws on discussions between policy makers and experts that took place at the 11th ADBI-OECD-ILO Roundtable on Labor Migration: Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic and Building Back Better, held in April 2021 and co-organized by the Asian Development Bank Institute, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the International Labour Organization.
