Working Paper on Sustainable Labour Market Reintegration of Returnees

Countries: Djibouti, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Uganda Organization: International Labour Organization Closing date: 5 Sep 2022 Background Labour migration can provide a safety valve to reduce the pressures on national labour markets that do not provide sufficient opportunities for decent work; at the same time migrant workers fill the skills gap and meet labour market demands, thereby helping countries of destination sustain their economic growth. Growing numbers of migrant workers from East, North, and West Africa are also migrating to the Arab States to work in construction, manufacturing, agriculture, services and retail trade, and domestic and care work. According to UNDESA, the stock of migrants from African countries in the GCC in 2017 was estimated to be over 3.4 million. The most popular destination countries for migrants from African countries were the UAE, KSA and Qatar. While comprehensive data from IGAD Region is limited, evidence shows a considerable increase in flow of migrant workers from the IGAD region to the GCC and middle east countries. It is evident that labour migration, if well- managed, can bring benefits to countries of origin, countries of destination as well as migrant workers and their families. Migrant workers play a key role in meeting labour market demands in countries of destination, increasing labour productivity through diversifying skills sets, boost local consumption, pay taxes and make social contributions as well as innovation and creativity, thereby contributing to aggregate GDP growth of countries of destination. Migrant workers also contribute to the development of countries of origin through remittances while abroad and financial investments, as well as human and social capital acquired abroad including new skills, ideas and know-how up on their return. Despite the benefits of labour migration, migrant workers experience a range of challenges and decent work deficits when seeking to obtain employment, during their stay in the country of destination and up on their return to their own countries. Returning migrant workers, especially those who are forcefully repatriated, also face difficulties in reintegrating into local labour markets. Returnees face several challenges affecting their smooth reintegration into society and the labour market due to limited access to the information required to equip them to navigate the changes that occurred in their home countries while they were away, and they found settling in very difficult as many things had changed. In addition, they might be left with limited financial resources. Owing to the COVID 19, all IGAD member states are experienced a large number of returnees from the Middle East and other countries of destination. Many returnees are returning to their countries of origin without resources. According to the assessment on the impact of COVID 19 on migrant workers in and from the IGAD region[1], numerous returnees arrive in COOs empty-handed, and this has been especially true since the start of the pandemic. Some employers in the Gulf have kept these migrant workers’ salaries, as they had not completed their contracts and the employers only pay them annually. Many were also in an irregular status abroad and vulnerable to exploitation. There are a number of structural and circumstantial challenges that can prevent the socio-economic reintegration of migrant workers in their countries. A prolonged stay abroad often creates challenges for returnees to find employment opportunities, primarily due to the loss of contact with prior networks in their home country. Other factors related to the capacity of the country of origin to facilitate the reintegration process. Many countries are unable to support their effective reintegration, principally due to the lack of institutional capacity, as well as human and financial resources. When back home, returnees may not have access to up-to-date information about employment services and current labour market situation. As a result, many returnees are concentrated in low-skilled informal employment or under-regulated sectors. Moreover, as the return was unexpected, unplanned and sudden, some even returned with unpaid wages and benefits. Their return has also affected their entire family, as the remittance they use to send have stopped with their return, in addition, the returnee themselves is additional burden in the scarce resources available for the household. Against this backdrop, the FMPT project is looking for the service of an individual consultant/ external collaborator to produce a working paper on sustainable labour market reintegration of returning migrant workers drawing on existing literature and review of the experiences in the IGAD region, particularly Ethiopia. Objective The overall objective of the assignment is to produce a working paper on sustainable reintegration of returnees into the local labour markets drawing on global and regional policy frameworks and practical experiences and lessons learned in supporting labour market reintegration of returnees..
