comments:
The ILO is engaging with countries of origin in supporting policies that support decent jobs. For example, the WIF programme has been supporting some of the new federal structures in Nepal to promote women’s employment (e.g. Prime Minister Employment Programme). In India, 873 work-age women received referral support to various income-generation and vocational skills trainings during 2019-2020.
action_plan:
The programme’s theory of change in phase 2 supports contributing towards decent jobs in both source and destination countries.

title:
Support for decent work opportunities in origin countries would help alleviate the drive for forced labour among migrant women workers. WIF should, along with the ILO DWT teams, consider providing technical assistance for the creation of local employment opportunities in the origin countries and areas; assessing the feasibility of contributing lessons from WIF and conducting research that would inform discussions on regional coalitions for wage negotiations, as well as assessing the feasibility of engaging with regional programmes for facilitating skill development in the care sector, where there is openness to do so.
