The report is the first of its kind to systematically assess the legal and effective access of migrant workers to nine areas of social protection, including medical, sickness, unemployment, injury, old-age, invalidity, family, maternity protection, and survivors’ benefits. It identifies enablers and barriers to access, along with factors that have facilitated or hindered the extension of such coverage, incorporating an extensive review of the legal framework, existing literature, and key informant interviews across the region.
