Information for workers
Governments implement a range of programmes to provide information to workers on issues such as their legal rights, how to avoid exploitation in the recruitment process or in employment, and the grievance procedures that are available to them. In the case of origin states, these include formal pre-departure orientation sessions, as well as partnerships with civil society organisations to deliver awareness-raising sessions among migrant worker communities. This indicator examines state performance in this regard, using ILO Guiding Principles and Operational Guidelines (ILO GPOG) Guideline 11.1 as the basis for its analysis, and the degree to which the provision of information to workers protects them from abuse or yields them remedy.
