Answer 1

Labour migration in Africa is largely intra-regional (80%) and mainly characterized by the migration of low-skilled workers. Of great importance in the region is the consolidation of significant South-South migration corridors to neighbouring labour markets in the search for a job and better wages. Indeed, today, there are few African countries not participating in migration flows, whether as countries of origin, transit or destination. Demand in economic sectors such as agriculture, fishing, mining and construction as well as services such as domestic work, health care, cleaning, restaurants and hotels, and retail trade are significant drivers within the continent. African migrants, asylum seekers and forcibly displaced persons often use the same migration routes. Growing inter-regional corridors to the Middle East and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries, as well as more traditional flows to Europe and North America are noteworthy.

The International Labour Organization (ILO)’s strategy on labour migration in the African region is guided by its International Labour Standards (ILS)  and Decent Work Agenda , and implemented in close collaboration with the World of Work actors (Ministries of Labour and workers’ and employers’ organisations from the 54 African countries). ILO’s rights-based approach takes into consideration labour market needs and covers all migrant workers irrespective of nationality, skill level and immigration status.

ILO’s labour migration work contributes to the UN Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration  adopted in December 2018 and falls in line with the commitments of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development  in particular its migration-related aspects: SDG 8 to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all (SDG target 8.8: Protect labour rights and promote safe and secure working environments for all workers, including migrant workers, in particular women migrants, and those in precarious employment); and, SDG 10 on reducing inequality within and among countries (SDG target 10.7. Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies). Work also includes support for constituents’ implementation of the new Mobility-related Guidance of the United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs).
