“Review of government data, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions with migrants point to specific problem areas such as the proliferation of licensed agents, unlicensed subagents, and brokers; exploitation among agents and between agents and employers; insufficient capacity to weed out unqualified employers; a broken legal system for migrants; and the recruitment ban on Filipino domestic workers. To address these gaps, this report recommends initiatives and programs to strengthen system management, including controlling and reducing the number of licensed recruitment agencies and unqualified employers; defining legally acceptable transactions among recruiters, migrants, and employers; and creating migrant-friendly grievance mechanisms.”
