ILO and ISSA
Event details
Description
The ILO and ISSA are organising a webinar to guide the audience on extending social protection to migrant workers, refugees and their families. It will build on the recently published ILO Guide: Extending Social Protection to Migrant Workers, Refugees, and their Families: Guide for Policymakers and Practitioners.
The webinar will provide an overview of the policy and administrative options that can be considered to extend social protection to migrant workers, refugees and their families. A selected number of country and regional practices will be presented that may inspire countries when engaging in legal reforms, negotiating social security agreements and designing social protection schemes.
Focus of the discussion:
- Unpacking the barriers faced by migrant workers in accessing social protection in destination countries but also upon return to their home countries.
- Presenting the different approaches in extending social protection to migrant workers and their families based on ILO international labour standards and international good practices.
- Experts from countries applying measures will discuss some of the policy options presented in the Guide based on their experiences and national practices.
- The perspective of workers and employers’ organizations on the content of the guide and policy options will be presented.
Languages: Simultaneous interpretation in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese.
