GLOBAL IMMIGRATION QUICK FACTS
•Numerous countries have adopted immigration policies thus trying to restrict the number of
migrant workers. For example countries such as the UK, Australia and Switzerland have
quotas on the number of employment permits they can allow on a monthly or/and yearly
basis.
QUOTA REGIMES
•Some countries adopt immigration policies, where the company intending to employ a
foreign worker will need to show that for every foreign worker employed, there is at least an
equal or higher number of resident workers within that company. This type of immigration
policy is evident in Canada under the Foreign Worker Program (Reciprocal Employment)
RECIPROCAL RATIO
AGREEMENTS
•A type of bilateral agreement is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). These are easier
for countries to negotiate and implement and can be modified according to changing
labour and market conditions
•For example: The Republic of Korea has MOUs with countries such as Bangladesh,
Cambodia, China and Indonesia (to name a few) for the hiring of foreign workers under its
Employment Permit System. These agreements state that the recruitment, selection and
placement of workers under the scheme would be managed entirely by Government
ministries in charge of labour migration – or entities affiliated with the relevant ministry of
the two countries.
