This project focuses on identifying factors that contribute to vulnerability among foreign-born workers and on strengthening preventive approaches. The aim is to support fair recruitment, improve integration practices and enhance cooperation between key actors.
The project aims to:
• promote responsible recruitment practices among employers
• support effective and inclusive integration of migrant workers
• identify risk factors for vulnerability and exploitation
• strengthen cooperation between municipalities, employers and other stakeholders
• produce practical guidance for different target groups
The project combines practical development work with applied research elements.
Key activities include:
• mapping existing legislation, guidance and practices related to labour migration and integration
• collecting experiences from migrant workers and relevant stakeholders
• documenting the implementation process to support future research and policy development
• developing and testing practical tools and materials
The project will produce:
• Guidelines for employers
• Guidelines for municipalities
• Fact sheets on risks in recruitment and on existing integration services
• Final webinar
• Presentation of results for stakeholders
