Technical support on labour migration in Chile

This project aims at strengthening the recognition of migrants’ labour rights in Chile, in line with the fundamental principles and rights at work, within a framework of broad social dialogue. The ILO is providing technical advice to the Ministry of Labour and Social Security to mainstream migration issues within one of its services (Labour Directorate -DT). With ILO support, the DT has carried out a self-diagnosis to determine how migration was included in its policies and procedures, which led to the elaboration of an action plan for 2017. In addition, the project seeks to generate social dialogue on migration between employers and workers, with the three main workers’ federations having agreed on a working methodology to address this matter. The project is generating information and knowledge on the subject, including through a report on lessons learned and good practices in the field of labour migration, gender equality and labour integration of migrant workers in the country.
