International labor migration is
becoming an increasingly important employment strategy for
developing countries. However, while increasing mobility
creates huge potential increases in global welfare,
accessing these gains requires careful management and
facilitation of labor flows to avoid low-level equilibria.
Sending countries will need to design labor-sending systems
that balance increased mobility with protection throughout
the entire migration process, while ensuring that supply and
demand for specific skills are matched. This note proposes a
structure for designing a labor-sending system and applies
this structure to an assessment of the existing
labor-sending system in Afghanistan, which is currently in
very nascent stages and is missing many fundamental
elements. It then applies the findings of this assessment to
propose a way forward in building Afghanistan’s
labor-sending system, along with an estimate of how long it
will take for the system to become operational. |
