Wednesday, November 11, 2009

Thiruvananthapuram, Nov 2 (PTI) India should implement a policy on international labour as there is a need to regulate recruiting agents and ensure security and safety of migrant workers, particularly the unskilled ones, a labour resource centre affiliated to UGC has said.

"India accounts for the largest number of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled migrants. There is an urgent need to regulate the recruiting agents to ensure the security of the migrants, particularly the unskilled workers," J Johan, executive director of New Delhi-based Centre for Education and Communication told PTI ahead of a meet of the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) which kicked off today at Athens.

Stressing the need for a policy on international migration, Johan said an inter-governmental system should be evolved for the mobility of unskilled workers.
