contents Precarious pathways: migration patterns and service needs of Lao migrant workers Siliphaithoun Xayamoungkhoun (Author) Benjamin Harkins (Author) Labour migration governance in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic is becoming increasingly structured and formalized. New laws and policies related to labour mobility and labour protection have been adopted both in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic and in countries of destination. MOUs on labour migration have been developed and updated. An emerging migration infrastructure is being established based upon recruitment through private employment agencies.As the situation of Lao migrant workers has been relatively under-researched in comparison to other migrant populations in South-East Asia, this study by the International Labour Organization helps to fill a key knowledge gap on their migration patterns and service needs. It presents valuable findings and recommendations that can be applied to improve the existing policy frameworks and service systems – expanding the opportunities for safe migration in the Lao People’s Democratic Republic.
