Freelance Migration and Development Consultant (short term project)
Job Description
The Institute for Human Rights and Business (IHRB) seeks a consultant with proven research experience on labour migration, development, and migrant workers’ rights. The consultant will provide an overview of how the benefits of labour migration – for migrant workers themselves, and their home countries and communities – can be maximised through responsible recruitment practices.
The research will inform a new stream of work being developed by the IHRB Leadership Group for Responsible Recruitment focused on the impacts of servicing recruitment debt on migrant workers, their families, and communities – in particular, the lost development potential of their remittances and the nexus between migration, recruitment practices, and attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
The consultant will develop a policy-oriented research paper that provides a succinct overview and analysis of the impacts of recruitment practices on remittance levels and related development outcomes in migrant workers’ home countries. The consultant will draw on existing research from both academic, non-governmental, international and government bodies and include in the paper relevant data presented in a clear and accessible format. The research paper will bring together data and analysis to inform the basis of policy positions and communications / advocacy messages to business, governments, international organisations, trade unions and civil society to advance understanding and action in support of the migration-recruitment- development nexus.
