ILO: Assessment of Legal Labour Migration Frameworks in Africa
ILO: Assessment of Legal Labour Migration Frameworks in Africa

August 2022

Labour migration has been gradually rising on the international agenda and has also been recognised as representing a significant opportunity for development. Significant labour migration flows of African nationals are intraregional and occur within the African continent. The latest continental assessment dates back to 2004, an update was needed to understand how regulations and frameworks in AU member states have adapted to contemporary labour migration.

Thus Samuel Hall was commissioned by the ILO to identify gaps and assess legislations, regulations (including labour codes) in AU Member States and Regional Economic Committees (RECs) and practices affecting migrant workers’ access to labour rights and benefits.

ILO/IOM - We are in this together: Labour Migration Responses to the COVID-19 Crisis in Europe and North Africa

July 2021

The ongoing COVID-19 crisis has shaken up existing labour migration trends. This is particularly true on both sides of the Mediterranean, where the presence of the virus has profoundly slowed, if not halted, human mobility, and where it is increasingly likely that population movements will be restricted in the coming months and years.

In light of this, and in preparation for the first THAMM (Towards a Holistic Approach to Labour Migration Governance and Labour Mobility in North Africa) Regional Conference, this discussion paper on labour migration responses to the COVID-19 crisis in Europe and North Africa is aimed at gaining a better understanding of the key trends that are currently shaping labour migration governance in a time of crisis. The paper is authored by Samuel Hall co-founder Hervé Nicolle.
