- challenges:
- - The in-bound labour migration especially the irregular migration can create tense and even hostile relation between local work force and the arriving workers.
- Sri Lankan trade union have been actively fighting against in-bound labour migration.
- success:
- - If labour migration is regulated in a way that is seen as fair by the national workers and their trade unions, then inbound migration can have positive outcomes.
- context:
- - The project did foresee to take initiatives to improve the regulations and practises in relation to in-bound labour migration these initiatives did however not materialize due to lack of time towards the end of the project.
- description:
- Labour migration in- and outbound should be seen as part of a broader employment strategy.
The influence of labour migration on the Sri Lankan labour market is very high this becomes even more evident with the increasing regular and irregular inbound labour migration. The migration has both positive and negative impact, it is therefore important to make strategical choices to minimize the negative and maximize the positive impact. Inbound migration can be a sensitive issue especially for the workers side, their involvement in the policy development is therefore extraordinary important.
