Filling the Gap of Social Security for Migrant Workers - ILO undated

The present study discusses the practical problems linked to the extension to migrant workers and their families of social security coverage and entitlements. It further examines the strengths and weaknesses of international conventions and social security agreements concluded for such purposes in recent years, and suggests ways and means by which better protection of migrant workers and their families can be achieved, particularly in the absence of ratification of relevant Conventions or conclusion of social security agreements by migrant-sending and by migrant-receiving countries.
