Benefiting Member States
Georgia
Estimates of the volume of Georgian labour migration vary, but researchers agree that migrant workers comprise a relatively large share of the population residing abroad. Due to the underdeveloped regulatory framework and support mechanisms, Georgian migrants use personal contacts and networking or resort to services of private recruitment agencies or acquaintances to find work abroad, which increases their vulnerability to labour and human rights abuses. The objective of the project is to develop operational frameworks to facilitate worker mobility from Georgia to Poland and Estonia that promote effective job-matching, migrant skill development and protection of their labour and human rights by:
1. Informing the Georgian Government and partners in Estonia and Poland about relevant regulative frameworks and economic needs for labour migration from Georgia, the existing gaps in implementation and possible methods for improving future labour migration processes;
2. Building the capacity of labour migration management structures in Georgia, Poland and Estonia to effectively facilitate labour migration from Georgia in a cooperative, comprehensive manner and in adherence to ethical recruitment standards and practices;
3. Testing the temporary and circular labour migration operational model on the basis of ethical recruitment standards and identifying lessons for future schemes.
