Established in 2008, the Abu Dhabi Dialogue launched a collaborative approach to addressing development in temporary labour mobility in Asia. It was initiated to boost common understanding and to influence practices and policies in contractual labour for the region.
Its works concentrate on developing and sharing knowledge on labour market trends, skills profiles, workers and remittances policies and flows, and the relationship to development; building capacity for more effective matching of labour supply and demand; preventing illegal recruitment and promoting welfare and protection measures for contractual workers; and developing a comprehensive approach to managing temporary contractual work for the interests of countries of origin and destination.
The ADD aims to enhance links within the group in improving working condition for employees.-VNA
